This is a bug report for perl from warrend@tek.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.34 running under perl v5.8.1.

[Please enter your report here]

In perl-5.8.1 I tried the install.html target. It started to work and then
had the error shown below.

It failed here in installhtml. $^X is ./perl but the current dir is in pod/perlfunc where
there is no perl


415==>          system($^X, $splitter, "../$filename") &&
416                 warn "$0: error running '$splitter ../$filename'"
417                      ." from $podroot/$dirname";

I put links from perlfunc and perlipc back up to ../../perl and it then
worked. That is until it got to doing the index files.

There it tried to do the destination perlfunc directory which wasn't there
since the source perlfunc directory was empty. It bombed out because it did
an open on a directory that wasn't there.

I am not sure if perlfunc should have been empty or the code is not quite
right.
