I've thought about adding perldoc:// links to ShuX - one important step was making it document-based, and that's done now.
Note that Shuck, as you may know, already uses pod:. Might make sense to
use it for both. But OTOH, you might want it to work differently from how
pod: works, and you might want to let people continue to use pod: for Shuck.
I can't imagine too many people would want to use both. Anyway, once we have two compatible reference implementations, we could submit our scheme to the relevant standards body. ;-)
Here's what I have in mind - is it somewhat close to what Shuck does?
(perldoc|pod)://[servername]/Pod/Name.pm
The server name is optional. If it's given the POD document is retrieved from the named server using HTTP. If not, the given path is a local filesystem path.
