Better yet release it on CPAN. I'm sure other people will find this very useful.
Yes, I was thinking about that. I'll package it up. Any idea on how to get a CPAN ID quickly?
I don't think it takes long, just follow the steps in the PAUSE CPAN doc
Also check that somebody hasn't already implemented this.
Me thinking that this may belong to the core functionality so you may want to run this through p5p as well.

Well, I may scratch the use of URI altogether. I've simply planned to be able to handle any URI as a source, but currently only file paths are used. For now your patch is fine.
URI might be useful if someone thinks my idea of adding Apache module documentation might be useful :) We could then fecth pod sources remotely from.... (fill the blank, I'm not so sure)
True, we may do this in the future. Need to have a reliable source though. For now I've added a link to perldoc.com.

How other cross-platform packages that install binaries handle this?
Well, the scripts from the DocSet distribution, html2ps and docset_build, get installed correctly into the Perl binary dir when make install is run.
However, no makefile is run when extracting the site repository from CVS, so we can't automate it. I think the best thing to do would be to simply add a line to the Readme:
To be able to run bin/build and bin/docset_build under Win32, you'll have to go through the following steps (being placed in the modperl-docs base directory):
cd bin
pl2bat build
pl2bat docset_build
Now, being placed in your base directory, you can execute "bin\build" with any normal options. Make sure to redo the above steps if build or docset_build are changed in CVS.
or we can add a Makefile.PL to do the work for the users. The question is where make install should install things.
For now I think an INSTALL doc will do, later if we use Makefile.PL for other things we may integrate this too.
After all bin/build is already a convenience script
(is makeindex used? If so you need to add makeindex each time).
yes, it's used to create an index for the search.

what's ppm? is it the perl package manager?
what operations do you get these errors from? you should see it by building in the verbose more (-v)
No, the Perl Package Manager shouldn't be involved here. This is during the PDF generation.
I'll try to look up where the error is coming from, but the problem is that the build takes an aweful lot of time, and has a tendency of crashing my computer if I don't follow slosely on what it's doing.
there are two stages in creating a pdf. html => ps => pdf. Which stage does it fail at?
You don't have to rebuild the whole thing just to test something.
Simly adjust the timestamp of the file and then rebuild without -f. I always something like this:
% touch src/download/binaries.pod && bin/build
or if I want the pdf, I add the -f flag
