    Yes, this behaviour is expected but it is definitely not documented
    in the pods.

Subject: pod/*.html -- all hyperlinks are invalid
From: "Darren/Torin/Who Ever..." <torin@daft.com>
Files: INSTALL pod/perldiag.pod installhtml

    The INSTALL file says:

     (cd pod && make html && mv *.html <www home dir>)

    But the resulting *.html files have hyperlinks that look like this;

     <A HREF="/pod/perlfaq.html">perlfaq</A>

    The /pod/ part shouldn't be there.  As a result, all of the hyperlinks are
    invalid (unless, of course, you install the *.html files in /pod/).

    Win32 uses something similar to the suggested method with
    installhtml, and it seems to work reasonably well.  I'll supply
    a patch if I wander anywhere close to a UNIX box in the
    next 24 hours, and someone else hasn't already done it. :-)

    When I follow the doc in installhtml, I get htmlwhich mostly works.

    Here's a sample:

    perl -w /ldata2/gnu/perl5.004/installhtml \
    	--podpath=lib:ext:pod:vms:win32:plan9:os2:h2pl:x2p:Porting:eg \

From: "Darren/Torin/Who Ever..." <torin@daft.com>
Files: INSTALL pod/perldiag.pod installhtml

    I don't understand how "make html" is intended to be used.

    By default (without editing the Makefile) the resulting .html files
    are useless -- they have broken cross-reference links.

    If you set HTMLROOT=. in pod/Makefile, then cross-references
    say .//pod/... which does not work either.
    Setting HTMLROOT to an absolute path doesn't work either (the
    spurrious /pod/ is always there).

    What is the intent of the current setup (p54rc1)?

    However, 5.004 changed the behavior of Syslog.pm in an icky way.

    In 5.003, Syslog called Sys::Hostname to get the name of the
    host, and happily used that as the logging host.

    Now, Syslog calls Sys::Hostname to get the name of the host,
    strips off all the domain info, and uses that as the host:

    sub connect {
        unless ($host) {
    	require Sys::Hostname;
    	my($host_uniq) = Sys::Hostname::hostname();
    	($host) = $host_uniq =~ /([\w\-]+)/;
        }

       ....etc.....

    Was this intentional? It screws up systems which use an FQDN as their
    hostname and don't list the stripped-down version in their /etc/hosts
    file, because inet_aton fails on the stripped-down name.

    Was /([\w\-\.]+)/ what was meant?
