The PAUSE indexer choked a bit on the generated META.yml,
but nonetheless the new module and scripts are on CPAN in:

  http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/P/PV/PVHP/dclpod-html-0_001.tgz

The idea being that you can put $!=pod into DCL procedures
and strip the leading $! and reformat the remaining pod just like
you would for perl code.  Hence there is a dcl2html(.com) script in
the distribution.  Oddly I test installed against perl 5.005_02
and perl 5.8.1 on VMS and under the latter version the EXE_FILES
entry in the hash passed to ExtUtils::MakeMaker::WriteMakefile()
did not work, in that within the descrip.mms generated on VMS
the target and rule to run perl over dcl2html.PL was not there.
I worked around that by adding a MY::postamble(), but I did not
have to do that for test installations against perl 5.8.1 on
Solaris or Linux.

At any rate, if you are merely curious try browsing over to:

  http://search.cpan.org/search?query=dclpod&mode=all

and let me know how you fare with it.

Thanks.
