G'day John,

I achieved a similar thing for home-grown modules in the past using a script
I had written that makes use of Pod::Find, Pod::HTML to run over the
directories containing my modules, and then use ActivePerl::DocTools module
and do ActivePerl::DocTools::WriteTOC() to rewrite the table of contents.

Unfortunately this is not the install option you are looking for. From my
own search to uncover the mysteries of this process, it seems that the PPM
tool uses zips that contain the blib directory, usually with a html
directory within it. The PPM tool copies this to the perl installation and
then updates the table of contents. What you may need to do is manually
create the html from the pod and add it to the zipped ppd archive. If all
goes according to my reading of the PPM source, it will recreate the TOC
during the install.

Hopefully someone knows something more definite (the makers of ppm
perhaps??) and can enlighten us all!

Cheers,
Geoff
