Version 1.50 of Pod::Parser adds a check and message indicating that L<text|hyperlink> is deprecated. This is based on the following sentences in perlpodspec, which has been there since its inception in 2001: "Authors wanting to link to a particular (absolute) URL, must do so only with "LE<lt>scheme:...>" codes (like LE<lt>http://www.perl.org>), and must not attempt "LE<lt>Some Site Name|scheme:...>" codes. This restriction avoids many problems in parsing and rendering LE<lt>...> codes." Elsewhere in the document, it says that the handler should handle these, as in the example L<Perl.org|http://www.perl.org/> The new Pod:Parser has just been installed in blead, and about 10 pods run afoul of this new check, including things like L<perlbug@perl.org|mailto:perlbug@perl.org> My question is should there really be a message for this kind of use, and if so, should it extend to mailto: links?Thread Next
