Hm, okay, two questions. First, what do I do about it? Make the .pod into
a .pm instead? That seems...icky.
Second, why does this kind of linking work elsewhere? Example:
The page:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Catalyst/lib/Catalyst.pm
The source:
http://search.cpan.org/src/MRAMBERG/Catalyst-5.56/lib/Catalyst.pm
which contains the text:
See L<Catalyst::Manual::Intro> for additional information.
Which correctly links to:
http://search.cpan.org/~mramberg/Catalyst-5.56/lib/Catalyst/Manual/Intro.pod
Puzzling...
