Bioperl: POD tips

[Chris Dagdigian]

First things first, excellent job on organizing the RFI response.  As I said
earlier I have a scheduling conflict with the NJ meeting but I have notified
people at work of my intent to attend future meetings of the LSR-DSIG meetings.
It helps that our company is evaluating CORBA in general.

Yep.

It's a new and improved version of 'pod2html' the previous version was a
nightmare when it came to producing cleanly formatted HTML...this version is
much better and builds the index by default.  BTW- I am using Perl version
5.004_01 under Digital Unix.

In the next distribution I'll call it 'PreSeq.html'.

You should just be able to upgrade your version of perl..I had to do a bit of
editing to the .PM files to get things to work but it was fairly painless.
