I'm trying to use dcl2html to convert the win32::gui documentation from pod to html. The program appears to run OK, but the output file contains only the skeleton html statements -- nothing from the input pod file is there. I guess the obvious answer is that dcl2html is not actually getting to the input file. The run shown below was run from the same directory where the input file resides and WITHOUT the full pathname specified for --infile=, but I've also tried it WITH the full path name and that does not change the result. I ran once with an INVALID --infile= name (without full path), and I got an error message stating that the file could not be opened. That convinced me that, when I specify the correct filename without the full path, the program is accessing -- or at least TRYING to access -- the correct file. If it REQUIRED the full path, I should get that same error message when I specify the correct file name but without the full path.

Any idea what might be going wrong? (see documentation below)

Thanks,

Phil
