This is a bug report for perl from bgstewart@covad.net\, generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.8.
----------------------------------------------------------------- Pod::Html generates bad links for multiple-line =head# paragraphs that include X\<> elements. Other directives that generate HTML Anchors may exhibit the same problem.
An example from perlop.pod in the base documentation:
=head2 Operator Precedence and Associativity
X\<operator\, precedence> X\
produces: \
\Operator Precedence and Associativity \\
rather than the more useful: \
\Operator Precedence and Associativity \\
I believe the problem lies in sub dpod1 as indicated below.
Thanks. Bruce Stewart
sub depod1($;$$){
my( $rstr\, $func\, $closing ) = @_;
my $res = '';
return $res unless defined $$rstr;
if( ! defined( $func ) ){
# skip to next begin of an interior sequence
while( $$rstr =~ s/\A(.*?)([BCEFILSXZ])\<(\<+[^\S\n]+)?// ){
# previous line should be
# while( $$rstr =~ s/\A(.*?)([BCEFILSXZ])\<(\<+[^\S\n]+)?//s ){
#
# recurse into its text
$res .= $1 . depod1( $rstr\, $2\, closing $3);
}
$res .= $$rstr;
} elsif( $func eq 'E' ){
# E\
