Subject: | Check links for functions as well as modules |
L<binmode> should be considered valid even though there is no such module on CPAN.
<mike> Apocalypse: Test::Pod::LinkCheck is telling me "Unknown link type(pod) to(binmode) - module doesn't exist in CPAN"... is
that right?
<Apocalypse> mike: Interesting, can you show me the actual POD line?
<mike> you'll have to set C<< L<binmode> $filehandle >>.
<mike> (which might not work anyways, I don't know if you're allowed to do links inside code)
<Apocalypse> hah do you have it on search.cpan.org?
<Apocalypse> also, does podchecker say it is valid?
<mike> no, not yet
<Apocalypse> I think linkcheck doesn't check if it's a function before checking if it's a module, bla bla
<mike> and yes, podchecker says it is fine
<Apocalypse> mike: great, that means it's something linkcheck should do :)
<mike> \o/
<Apocalypse> mike: mind making a RT ticket? I gotta go in a few mins, I'll try to fix it soon
<mike> sure thing
