I've posted an experimental patch that allows Pod::Html
(and installhtml) to generate HTML docs with true relative URLs.
The patch is for perl5.005_02, but the 2 patched files are also
included and may give you some leeway...
This means that the docs can be browsed coherently
no matter where they are rooted, so file: and http: access
methods both work, and they can be moved to a new
location without a rebuild. It seems to work on my linux box,
but your mileage may vary. Let me know :-).
It's in
patch-Pod-Html-relative-0.001_01.tar
This archive includes both patch files and patched files, as
well as a Makefile to apply the patch and run installhtml.
You should be able to get it from:
http://www.telerama.com/~rbs/perl/
http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/id/R/RB/RBS/
(CPAN will take a bit to mirror everywhere).
You'll also need File::PathConvert, v0.84 or later, available
from the same place. DON'T BOTHER WITH 0.83: IT WON'T HELP!
Feel free to contact me with any updates, questions, etc.
