Yes, I am familiar with the tools of which you speak...

I emailed the list with a script that traverses the lib and site
directories and creates the html pod for you and then calls
ActivePerl::DocTools::WriteTOC() to update the current TOC.

If you missed it (it was when the list was choking a few days back and
I never received it myself) I posted it on perlmonks some time ago at
http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=55079

BTW, this script will convert all the core module pod as well as the
siye modules you have installed that contain pod, so it will almost
give me the "conventional HTML help" I was asking about, but it
doesn't have the nice framed layout (and stylesheets) we've all grown
accustomed to having. And not all the links line up quite right (e.g.
the Components directory is absent with out the AS help) It is, however,
nice for updating the existing HTML help system after installation
of new modules that don't update the POD themselves.

I would love to be able to extend the capabilities of the script to
include updating the Win32 HTML help. Maybe there's a way... Maybe
there *will* be a way ;)
