it demostrates perldoc filters.

overkill. Think Perl (you can't possibly be the first to want this).

AS Perl ships with POD in HTML format. PPM installs POD in HTML format.
pod2html turns POD into HTML. perldoc perlpod and perldoc perldoc should be
consulted. Here's something that works for what you want (for now):
perldoc perldoc | perl -MPod::Html -e
"pod2html(\"--outfile=$ENV{TEMP}/pod.html\");system \"Start
$ENV{TEMP}/pod.html\";unlink \"$ENV{TEMP}./pod.html\";"
make a doskey macrofile with this in it (for later):
htpod=perldoc -u $* | perl -MPod::Html -e
"pod2html(\"--outfile=$ENV{TEMP}/pod.html\");system \"Start
$ENV{TEMP}/pod.html\";unlink \"$ENV{TEMP}./pod.html\";"
modify to run elsewhere.
