Phoenix.pm: PerlDoc question

Hi folks.
I'm trying to write a program that reads my Wiki source files (each page
is a file, in a very text format, where ASCII formatting conventions
are the mark up language).
I can't get L<> to work. I've read perlpodspec.
In http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/pod/perlpodspec.html#About-L%3c...%3e-Codes
it claims that L<Link Text/Anchor> will display Link Text as a link to Anchor
in the current document, where Anchor is marked up as:
=head2 Anchor
(or another head, or =item).
Nothing. I get thousands of lines of output like:
/usr/bin/pod2html: perldesignpatterns.pod: cannot resolve L<FlyweightPattern/FlyweightPattern> in paragraph 7. at /usr/share/perl/5.6.1/Pod/Html.pm line 1562.
In the perldesignpatterns.pod, down a ways, is:
=head2 FlyweightPattern
...in a paragraph by itself.
I'm using the pod2html from 5.6.1 to test with. pod2latex works fine, but it doesn't
actually compute anchors, as far as I know, so it really wouldn't care about whether
or not a link target exists.
Other "obvious" permutations of using L<> also end is failure.
Thoughts, suggestions, flames, anyone?
Also, does anyone know what parser is used at perldoc.com that produces such lovely output?
Thanks!
