AW: AW: allowing L<text|href>

Hi David,

sorry, I did not imply that. All I meant was to relax the spec
(perlpodspec) to tolerate L<text|URL>, and do the same thing
in Test::Pod, i.e. not flag L<text|URL> as an error.
However, I think it would be a sensible restriction to only
Allow absolute (not relative) URLs, i.e.
	http://perl.org => ok
	/images/diagram.jpg => NOT ok

HTH,

Marek

So you want to add an option to Test::Pod? Would you want to do this for all
things that change between versions of the spec? Sounds like a maintenance
nightmare to me.

Best,
