in thread perl pod link to anoter document

i tried this and it did not work. the results are empty file links (file:///) http://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod.html says 
Or you can link to a web page:

    L<scheme:...>

    L<text|scheme:...>

    Links to an absolute URL. For example, L<http://www.perl.org/> or L<The Perl Home Page|http://www.perl.org/>.

    =head1 LINKS TO SHAM BO

C<<< file:sham.html >>>
L<file:sham.html>

C<<< file:./sham.html >>>
L<file:./sham.html>

    This fails (I expected this, many bugs in pod2html)  pod2html ro.pod > ro.html

    This works  perl -MPod::Simple::HTML -e Pod::Simple::HTML::go ro.pod  ro.html

    This works pom2 html ro.pod > ro.html

    This works :) plackup -l localhost:80 -e require(Pod::POM::Web::PSGI)

      This works perl -MPod::Simple::HTML -e Pod::Simple::HTML::go ro.pod ro.html
      thanks, this seems to fit best for me. it is part of core modules and gives correct output similar to pod2html.

      Thanks again
