Here is idea, instead of bin/bioseq.pod, save it as lib/bioseq.pod

    Good suggestion. I tried that but no dice. The lib file looks nice but it is not associated with the bin.

    At this point, I think the best alternative is to automate pulling in the wiki POD and stuff it into the command-line script after an __END__ just before doing a CPAN release.

      The lib file looks nice but it is not associated with the bin.

      What do you mean "not associated with the bin"?

      I did some testing using the Perl installation on my system.

      On my system, I have Perl installed in /opt - like this:

      /opt/perl/bin lib site/bin site/lib

      In site/bin there is corelist. I added a dummy corelist.pod in site/lib

      Opening a xterm in my home directory, I ran perldoc corelist and got the rendering of the dummy .pod file instead of the POD in corelist

      So, perldoc can find a .pod file in the library of a Perl installation.

      Maybe the Makefile.PL needs to be customized to install the .pod files in lib/ instead of lib/module/path/

      If CPAN and/or MetaCPAN are not displaying the .pod files in the lib/ directory of your module archive, then I think that is a bug with CPAN / MetaCPAN, since perldoc does display them as expected.</c>
