I should have mentioned that this is one of the first things I tried. On both Windows and Unixish, given an 'install_base' (or similar) of ~/ files are installed as below. I just wasn't sure that was the correct behavior, especially since it won't be indexed by ActivePerl::DocTools and outside of AP::DocTools, I wasn't sure the structure made sense. I really have no preference on the issue though since I don't tend to view the html. That's why I was deferring, hoping for input from the ActiveState folks.
If that's not the correct behavior, what would be preferred? I thought you were saying the $base\html\site\lib\... was correct on Win32 AFAYK, but I did get a little lost. ;-)
Sorry for being unclear. That solution is fine, with the possible exception of the 'site' segment being part of the path when 'install_base' or similar is specified. I think including 'site' is correct only during default installs when installdirs=site, but maybe I'm nitpicking, and there is, AFAIK, no requirement that it be one or the other.
The idea of eliminating the directory structure completely, so that all files are created in a single directory:
$base\html\Module-Name.html # for a module named Module::Name
is probably flawed and not really that different from:
$base\html\lib\Module\Name.html
I was just trying to draw a (probably inappropriate) parallel between the way man pages are stored and the way html pages are stored.
