I just released a new module that might interest you kooks.
It's Pod::Webserver -- http://search.cpan.org/~sburke/Pod-Webserver/
It's a minimal web server to serve local Perl documentation. You start it up and it says:
% podwebserver
[some stuff about indexing your @INC, and then:]
You can now point your browser at http://whatever.thing.int:8020/
It doesn't use Apache or anything -- it just use HTTP::Daemon to handle the sockets and HTTP and stuff. (HTTP::Daemon is part of LWP, which I hear a handsome gentleman wrote a book about <http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perllwp/>.)
And it does the HTMLification with the newly spiffy Pod::Simple::HTML module that's in the new Pod::Simple dist from a day or two ago.
