man perl56delta says
See the section on "/www.plover.com/~mjd/perl/at-
error.html" in the http: manpage for more details about
the history here.
perlpod.pod says
L<name> A link (cross reference) to name
L<name> manual page
L<name/ident> item in manual page
L<name/"sec"> section in other manual page
L<"sec"> section in this manual page
(the quotes are optional)
L</"sec"> ditto
same as above but only 'text' is used for output.
(Text can not contain the characters '/' and '|',
and should contain matched '<' or '>')
L<text|name>
L<text|name/ident>
L<text|name/"sec">
L<text|"sec">
L<text|/"sec">
so this would mean perlguts.pod's
L<http://www.unicode.org/|http://www.unicode.org/>
is illegal but it does work. Patch attached makes the same change for the
instances in perlxs.pod perl56delta.pod and perlos2.pod.
Long term would it be a better idea to ammend the rules of POD so that
L<[a-z]+:/.*> is taken as being a URL, before the rule L<name/ident>
is applied? I'm assuming that no man pages end in a colon - is this wise?
