Note that these are both properties of Pod::Simple, so even with |older Perls one could install a new version of Pod::Simple from CPAN and |things should work. Yes, and we could version check to decide what to do. I.e., i think it would be better to act as an input filter and feed into Pod:: what can be handled, converting to "L<scheme:> (Text)" or likewise as necessary, instead of introducing a requirement onto a specific, possibly non-standard package (version). However, if it's not so hard to extend or hook L<>, or to make the Pod parser -- but even more the Pod output layer -- recognize "this is a hyperlink", then that would also be worth the effort i think. |-- |Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> --steffen
