Version 1.50 of Pod::Parser adds a check and message indicating that
L<text|hyperlink> is deprecated. This is based on the following
sentences in perlpodspec, which has been there since its inception in 2001:
"Authors wanting to link to a particular (absolute) URL, must do so
only with "LE<lt>scheme:...>" codes (like
LE<lt>http://www.perl.org>), and must not attempt "LE<lt>Some Site
Name|scheme:...>" codes. This restriction avoids many problems
in parsing and rendering LE<lt>...> codes."
Elsewhere in the document, it says that the handler should handle these,
as in the example
L<Perl.org|http://www.perl.org/>
The new Pod:Parser has just been installed in blead, and about 10 pods
run afoul of this new check, including things like
L<perl...@perl.org|mailto:perl...@perl.org>
My question is should there really be a message for this kind of use,
and if so, should it extend to mailto: links?
