I hope we can slip this into the next build.
There seems to be a perl version syntax change between 5.8 and 5.10. perlpod for 5.8 <http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.7/pod/perlpod.pod#Formatting_Codes> says: "you can link to a web page: * L<scheme:...> Links to an absolute URL. For example, L<http://www.perl.org/>. But note that there is no corresponding L<text|scheme:...> syntax, for various reasons." while that for 5.10 <http://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod.html#Formatting-Codes> says: "you can link to a web page: * L<scheme:...> Links to an absolute URL. For example, L<<a href="http://www.perl.org/";>http://www.perl.org/</a>>. But note that there is no corresponding L<text|scheme:...> syntax, for various reasons." I agree that the original is broken, in that both versions explicitly forbid it, but I don't believe the replacement is valid in all perl versions that TT should run under. Such a blatant backwards incompatibility that potentially affects many programs suprprises me. Does anybody know more about it? How can one write compatible code?
