I know this has been discussed before, and the conclusion was that L<> won't handle URIs. But there is no solution for this problem and the workarounds are not satisfactory.
I know I can extend pod, but then my pods won't be properly processed by tools implemented following perlpodspec. Therefore I want to add a new sequence to perlpodspec which will handle URIs: U< title | uri > U: used for hyperlinks (mnemonics: *U*RI) title: any char with '|' and '>' escaped uri: full_uri | rel_uri full_uri: as in RFC spec rel_uri: ... the parsing of this new sequence is very easy - just split on '|' while skipping over escaped '|' and render a proper: <a href="$uri">$title</a> for html renderers and do something like: $title ($uri) for text renderers. If the idea is accepted it would be great to get it in, before 5.8.0 is released. I know that this won't help older perls, but it's better than nothing.
