Are there instructions available for creating HTML pages from a module's POD and then linking it into ActivePerl's documentation?
At first I used to use ActivePerl::DocTools.
Soon after I wrote
ActivePerl::DocTools::TOC::HTML::Podmaster.
Around that time
ActiveState started removing the pod from all the ActivePerl::* modules.
I didn't like that very much, so
I wrote
Pod::Master.
I now use
Pod::Master exclusively.
Also, what other things does PPM handle that is specific for ActivePerl? I've noticed something about PPM3 registering installed modules with ActiveState.
I haven't seen anything about that, but then I don't have an ActiveState account,
or buy any of ActiveStates producs (I get the free stuff).
What you're describing are ActiveState Developer profiles (or something like that).
I don't use that feature (apparently if you use ActiveState flavored TCL, Python ... you can also use PPM to manage those, but I don't use TCL, and I don't use ActiveState flavored Python).
update: if you don't bother to look at ActivePerl::DocTools::TOC::HTML::Podmaster, or look inside ActivePerl::DocTools,
how you (or PPM for that matter) update the html is
perl -MActivePerl::DocTools -e UpdateHTML()
That's basically what PPM does after you use it to install a module.

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README). |
