Um, no it doesn't. I just wrote a test for this:
ok(
x(qq{L<perl.org|http://www.perl.org>\n}),
qq{\n<p><a href=\"http://www.perl.org\";
class=\"podlinkurl\"\n>perl.org</a></p>\n}
);
That passes.
OTOH, Pod::Simple::XHTML is broken when it comes to man page links:
ok(
x(qq{L<crontab(5)>\n}),
qq{\n<p><a>crontab(5)</a></p>\n} # XXX WRONG!
);
I'm thinking maybe manpage links should go to some reliable Web site that has
man pages. Anyone got any suggestions?
Best,
David
