The L<> doesn't support "named" http:// links.

from perlpod:

'
L<scheme:...> 

Links to an absolute URL. For example, L<http://www.perl.org/>. But note 
that there is no corresponding L<text|scheme:...> syntax, for various 
reasons.

I'm assuming the website uses combust, so mostly whatever combust uses.  
The "68K emulator" and "April Fool's Joke" links here are broken 
because of it:

Also, pod2html (Pod::HTML) and Pod::Simple::HTML.

Thanks,
