Oh, that's *old*...I haven't messed with pod2html for a long time now.
It's probably gotten all changed around by now...

For CPAN I needed to use SafeName and another module for dealing with
rooted logicals to go down more than 8 levels in the directory structure.
So I whipped up a new distribution with
VMS::FileUtils::Root handle rooted directories
VMS::FileUtils::SafeName renamed VMS::SafeName
For the rooted directory stuff I had to avoid using the File::Spec::VMS
and VMS::Filespec stuff, since they'll often go through RMS and give useless
results when there's more than 8 levels.
So you do something like:
$r = new VMS::FileUtils::Root mydev:[dir1.dir2.dir3];
$dir = $r->rooted('mydev:[dir1.dir2.dir3.dir4]');
I've got it using Unixish directory syntax (out of laziness, mostly),
and it's far from as "clean" as I'd like it, but if it can make CPAN go
that's enough for now.
