You must have an old perl/pod2html :)

Your 'ack' is wrong on two accounts. First of all, pod2html doesn't do anything more than using a module, and calling a single sub in that. The work is done in `..../lib/5.10.1/Pod/Html.pm`. But even then, searching for `<ARGV>` or `<>`won't reveal much. But this is relevant: `local(@ARGV) = @_; ... local POD; unless (@ARGV && $ARGV[0]) { $Podfile = "-" unless $Podfile; # stdin open(POD, "<$Podfile") \|\| die "$0: cannot open $Podfile file for input: $!\n" +; } else { $Podfile = $ARGV[0]; # XXX: might be more filenames POD = *ARGV; } ... my @poddata = <POD>;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Huh, my ack is wrong? First of all, pod2html doesn't do anything more than using a module That is what it does now, it wasn't always a module. But even then, searching for <ARGV> or <>won't reveal much. But this is relevant It shows magic isn't used.	[reply]

It shows magic isn't used. So what is `<POD>` do if not magic? `mkdir /tmp/aaa cd /tmp/aaa touch a.pod b.pod 'rm * \|' pod2html * ls` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
