that HTML is not for the above POD, it is located at

http://search.cpan.org/~cjfields/BioPerl-1.6.1/Bio/PrimarySeqI.pm

the issue seems to be that when displaying the POD from the examples 
directory the source link is linking to the real module

the html shown in [2] is representative of 
http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/CJFIELDS/BioPerl-1.6.1/examples/root/lib/Bio/PrimarySeqI.pm

IMO it is confusing to include 2 different copies of the same module. I 
would suggest adding to META.yml

no_index:
   dir:
     - examples/root/lib
