Hi Benjamin,<br><br>In Pod::Html, it looks like the following line is the offender:<br><br> @Podpath = split(":", $opt_podpath) if defined $opt_podpath;<br><br>If you want a quick fix, you can edit in place and get it working by looking at $^O to see what system you're on. Otherwise, submit a patch that does it more portably.<br>

Hi Perl Mongers,<br>
<br>
I'm in the process of porting a build script from Solaris to Windows. The<br>
script packages up a collection of Perl scripts for distribution on our<br>
corporate network and one of the things it does it to build all the POD<br>
into a nice, pretty set of html pages. The code all lives in my TFS<br>
workspace on my c: drive and I'm having trouble with pod2html accepting a<br>
path which contains a : (like in c:\). I discovered this is because<br>
pod2html (in Pod::Html) tries to split the podpath on the : character, so<br>
it crashes because it attempts to open a file called C. Of course this all<br>
worked perfectly on Solaris where file paths are sans : characters. I tried<br>
replacing C:\ with \\$ENV{COMPUTERNAME}\c$, but it appears that only works<br>
if you have admin rights on the machine, which in this instance I don't. It<br>
seems inconceivable to me that pod2html doesn't work on Windows and I feel<br>
there must be a simple solution, but I have not been able to find it. Can<br>
anyone help?<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
