pods2html - translate a tree of PODs to HTML
"pods2html" ["--base" url] ["--css" url] ["--empty"] ["--index" title] ["--module"] ["--"["no"]"toc"] ["--hr" level] ["--bgcolor" #rrggbb] ["--text" #rrggbb] ["--variables" values.pl] PODdir HTMLdir [template [variable=value ...]]
"pods2html" finds all the .pod and .pm files in the directory tree rooted at PODdir. It translates each POD to HTML, and writes it to a parallel directory tree rooted at HTMLdir
It makes the HTML files world-readable.
If a template file is provided, then template will be filled in by the "Text::Template" module and written to dest. Here is a minimal template, showing all the variables that are set by "pods2html".
<html> <head> <base href="{$base}"> <link href="{$css}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <title>{$title}</title> </head> <body bgcolor="{$bgcolor}" text="{$text}"> {$toc} {$body} </body> </html>
If the "--variables" option is provided, then the file values.pl will be executed with a "do" call before the template is filled in. values.pl may contain arbitrary Perl code. The program fragments in the template are evaulted in the "Pod::Tree::HTML" package. Any variables that values.pl sets in this package will be available to the template.
Additional scalar variables may be set on the command line with the variable=value syntax. Variables set on the command line override variables set in values.pl.

level horizontal lines 0 none 1 between TOC and body 2 after each =head1 3 after each =head1 and =head2
Default is level 1.

The recursion check doesn't work on Win32. This means that the program will enter an infinite recursion if HTMLdir is a subdirectory of PODdir.
