  long ago I experimented with various options till I finally managed to
generate makepp docs with --podpath=. --podroot=. --htmlroot=., which might
not be the official way, but the only one that worked for me. Later I noticed
that newer Perls (since about 5.8.7) sometimes link to .html#foobar. I have
now traced this down to the fact that files start with ./, probably if found
in my path. But pod2html takes everything before the 1st dot and adds .html.
My patch fixes that by changing to the everything before last dot.

Your patch does not apply against bleadperl, but there is a good chance
it has been fixed. Could you provide a test case, or try out blead
yourself?

Gosh, I don't remember. I have somehow worked around this in the makepp doc,
so I don't know what the test case was.

And you scare me by saying that it has been rewritten on top of Pod​::Simple!
I still have the trauma of 5.8.7 wantonly switching to incompatible (and too
primitive, e.g. case insensitive) =item links. That made me fix L<links> all
over the place. I hope you didn't repeat that nightmare!

Otoh I hope you finally made X<anchors> work, even though for makepp, which is
backwards compatible to 5.6, that is useless...

I tested this with a pod file test.pod which linked to test2.pod in the
same directory.

Then ran​:

~/perl/v5.19.1-487-gdd686e5/bin/pod2html5.19.2 --podpath=. --podroot=.
--htmlroot=. --infile=test.pod --outfile=test.html

This produced the html​:

<p><a href="./test2.html">test2</a></p>

So assuming my test is good, this is fixed.

I'll close this in a few days unless the requestor can provide a test
case that fails.
