From perlpod

    L&lt;name&gt;     A link (cross reference) to name
                    L&lt;name&gt;             manual page
                    L&lt;name/ident&gt;       item in manual page
                    L&lt;name/"sec"&gt;       section in other manual page
                    L&lt;"sec"&gt;            section in this manual page
                                        (the quotes are optional)
                    L&lt;/"sec"&gt;           ditto
                same as above but only 'text' is used for output.
                (Text can not contain the characters '/' and '|', 
                and should contain matched '&lt;' or '&gt;')
                    L&lt;text|name&gt;
                    L&lt;text|name/ident&gt;
                    L&lt;text|name/"sec"&gt;
                    L&lt;text|"sec"&gt;
                    L&lt;text|/"sec"&gt;
&lt;/CODE&gt;

[http://search.cpan.org/author/SBURKE/Pod-Simple-0.96/lib/perlpodspec.pod|perlpodspec] will be up updated to make support for &lt;code&gt;L&lt;link text|url&gt;&lt;/code&gt; official,
so to be on the safe side (with ye old modules), just use L&lt;url&gt; or don't use L at all cause pod2html will autolink it.
&lt;p&gt;
Now, what [http://search.cpan.org/author/JHI/perl-5.8.0/pod/pod2html.PL|pod2html] will do is try to autolink &lt;CODE&gt;C&lt;=item functioname&gt;&lt;/CODE&gt;
if you use &lt;CODE&gt;C&lt;$foo-E&lt;gt&gt;method&gt;&lt;/CODE&gt;.
&lt;p&gt;
[cpan://Pod::Html] will also try to autolink to any core perl functions and the like.
This has nothing to do with pod, it's just extra fluff (i like it).
&lt;p&gt;
What everybody wants to do is use podchecker.  You wanna lookout for "multiple link targets" warnings, like if you have =headN FOO twice.
