Pod-HtmlEasy (1.0102)

The module is OK if you use it to read and write from standard input/output as it says halfway through the documentation. However, it seems quite flaky and buggy if you actually try to use the module as a module. The podhtmleasy.pl script supplied with the module doesn't work and it keeps whining

"All options must be paired with values"

Similarly if you try to write your own script using it.

The HTML output looks like CPAN's which is a big benefit compared to the ugly one produced by POD::Simple::HTML.

But either the documentation is broken, or the module is broken, in a way that a couple of test scripts should have shown up, so I can't give it more than three stars. Write proper tests and fix the documentation.

Pod-HtmlEasy (0.06)

The best way I've found to convert POD to HTML in a reasonably flexible way. You can choose whether you want the whole file or just the body; whether you want an index or not; and you can override specific formatting methods (I find it's usually necessary to override the Link method). Another nice thing is that it includes a decent search.cpan.org-like stylesheet by default.
