You need to add --htmlroot=. and --podpath=. to your pod2html call.
If the file you want to link to is License.pod, then create your link as
L<License>
If you need to link to an external html file that isn't derived from a .pod
file, you have two choices:
Absolute link:
L<http://host/path/to/file.html>
Relative link:
=for html <A href="file.html">Text</A>
