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.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
