Version: 4.0 (using KDE 3.1.4) Installed from: (3.0) Compiler: gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.23-2003-12-14.1.roo I use konqi a lot to read documentation, and the ability to read man pages is really neat. Perl PODs can be converted to both man-pages and HTML, so they can be read by konqi, and indeed, my installed Perl modules are easily accessible by writing e.g. man:Perl::Module, and that's neat. Nevertheless, pod2man looses a lot of formatting, and the perl docs are far from as readable as they could be. Also, it would be great to be able to simply point konqi to a .pm file and read the docs that are there. Therefore, I hereby submit a wish for a native Plain Old Documentation translator in konqi. The POD specs in the perlpod manpage... :-)

If you've got code that generates HTML out of it, let us know. So long: WONTFIX
Easy enough: pod2html does that: http://www.perl.com/doc/manual/html/utils/pod2html.html The output of pod2html isn't very pretty, but better than the Manpages in that it at least preserves hyperlinks. The above link shows how it looks with the vanilla pod2html. http://search.cpan.org/ gets prettier output from it, http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.3/pod/pod2html.PL but I don't actually now how they do it. But I guess we're interested in KDE-specific looks anyway, so that's perhaps not an issue. I think it would be great to have a pod:-"protocol", so that if I point Konqi at any file with POD using pod:/any/file.pm, the pod would be translated on the fly and displayed, as well is searching through the user's @INC if a module name is given rather than a file.
Still a wish for >3.2.2
