Subject: Links to man pages are treated as CPAN modules
A link like "L<strftime(3)>" is treated as a module. This module should probably just ignore such links. Of course, something like "L<strftime>" is completely ambiguous, so you should probably assume it's a module, but if it has parens containing a number, it's a man page.

It should be treated as a man page. Do you have a failing example? Show quoted text

I think I try it as a perl module/pod, but then also as a program name in case it's a perl script not accessible through the @INC paths. Show quoted text

Yes. I rely on Pod::Simple to give type "man", otherwise it should be about right if the man program is close enough to what I've setup to expect.

Maybe try L<login.conf(5)>. That's the the one I seeing fail tests for File::ChangeNotify::Watcher::KQueue. -dave /*============================================================ http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) ============================================================*/

Yep, beaut. That's a bug in Pod::Simple. It reports it as type "pod" not type "man" and I follow that type. I'll open a bug against there.

You can also just change the queue on this bug. -dave /*============================================================ http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) ============================================================*/
Thanks, should be fixed in https://github.com/theory/pod- simple/commit/8bfed7475e7b0416c18dbe28390c09e3b721f340.
I uploaded a version 12 with a "recommends" of Pod::Simple 3.24. Perhaps I could make that a prereq, but start with recommends.
