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.

MJD says "you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!"
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
