Dear all,

today I've uploaded MarekPodHtml-0.41.tar.gz to CPAN. This is an update of
0.40 that fixes a bug that the conversion ran into when converting all of
the Perl PODs locally installed as suggested by me earlier.

What is this all about?

I think the existing pod2html is broken. I wanted to come up with a mostly
compatible, but much more strict and precise converter based on existing
POD filters and HTML utility modules. I'd like to suggest this module as a
replacement for the existing pod2html.

Why the strange name?

Andreas Koenig suggested that I should use a "private" namespace in order
to not pollute the existing ones. As soon as agreement is reached to use
this module, the Marek:: namespace would be dropped.

So what?

I'd like to ask you to have a look at this module, test it
(try "make test_full" after "make test" and look in the generated html/
directory) and send me your comments. Please note the TODO file that
probably already lists some suggestions that you may come up with.

This module should be pretty portable (tested on Linux, Solaris and
Win32) and stable.

CPAN path:

http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local//modules/by-authors/id/M/MA/MAREKR/

All the best,

Marek
