Stick a VMS::Pod::Hlp dummy package in it that just contains a package declaration and a bit of POD pointing to Pod::Hlp. Then it should be indexed in VMS:: fine. > !> Caveat's: it does not use Pod::Parse, and it has not been tested against > !> perl 5.8.0 and the Makefile.PL might have "" hash ref bugs in it. > ! > !Well, if someone wants to fix it up and write a vmshelpifypods target I'll > !hlp integrate it into MakeMaker. > > Hmmm - are you proposing adding either Pod::Hlp or Pod::Dsr to > the perl distribution? It would probably be useful for VMS folks in general. I'll let you propose that since you know a lot more about this than I do. The CPAN version of MakeMaker can simply have a dependency on it. > Pod::Hlp does not use Pod::Parse owing in > principle to a special =head$n re-ordering tweak used to generate > HLP that is acceptable to the help librarian utility.

In fact, the probably reaction will be "wacky VMS stuff *shrug*". Sean Burke ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) might be able to help you. Since he's PODmeister he should know about Interesting Conversions that require reordering. As long as it works and doesn't make too many system environment assumptions. -- Michael G.
