1. I'm not very clear on what you were trying to do when you encountered this problem. When you called:
#####
$ perl -d $(which pod2html)
#####
... was that your attenpt to debug a problem? Why do you have no command-line arguments to 'pod2html'? Were you expecting to get input from STDIN?
2. Do you have HTML::Parser and HTML::Entities installed on this system?
'pod2html' relies on Pod::Simple::XHTML. The latter package has provisions in it for both having and *not* having HTML::Entities on your system. (HTML::Parser is a dependency for HTML::Entities.)
If, for example, you were to install HTML::Entities on this system, would you still encounter the problem described in this story?
Thank you very much.
