No to all of these.
OK
If you want Perl's documentation, the distribution comes with a installhtml
script ...
For Debian 6 "Squeeze" i386, install tools for installing source packages:
$ sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev
Install Perl 5.10.1 source package into my home directory:
$ apt-get source perl
RTFM:
$ cd perl-5.10.1/
$ perldoc installhtml
Install HTML documents:
$ mkdir htdocs
$ perl installhtml --podroot=/home/dpchrist/perl-5.10.1 --podpath=`perl
-e 'print join ":", grep -e, map "../../..$_", @INC'`
--htmldir=/home/dpchrist/perl-5.10.1/htdocs
--htmlroot=/home/dpchrist/perl-5.10.1/htdocs --splithead=pod/perlipc
--splititem=pod/perlfunc
--libpods=perlfunc,perlguts,perlvar,perlrun,perlop --recurse --verbose
splitting files by head.

I filed a Perl bug report yesterday, but haven't received a confirmation
yet...
Is pod2html the canonical tool for creating the HTML files?
... yes, pod2html is the usual way of of going from pod to HTML.
OK.
Thanks for the help. :-)
