Howdy, Over the past week I was able to implement a --nopoderrors flag in Pod::Html and finish the test cases for Pod::Html, both of which were described in my last update. However, I was not able to start on Pod::Checker yet, because I spent the lesser half of the week struggling with the test cases, trying to get them to pass on Windows. To make a long week short: I added "File::Spec"s everywhere they were needed, among other things.
The brunt of the work is done, so now I need to get this patch applied to perl's core. Before I do, however, I need to: - fix up some porting/ test cases (e.g., authors.t, manifest.t, etc.), - have my code reviewed by my mentors (and others), - have the newest Pod::Simple shipped to cpan and integrated into the core (looking at you, theory), and - have a separate patch of mine accepted into the core that removes a test case that tests an unsupported feature (lib/Pod/t/eol.t). In addition, I want to try and get Pod::Html into Russ Allbery's podlators. Most of what is on my todo list for next week involves me waiting for others, so I plan to start refactoring the next module, Pod::Checker, so that it uses Pod::Simple instead of Pod::Parser. My first thought is to try and use Pod::Simple::Checker, but its feature set is severely lacking in comparison, so I will have to port a lot of code over. Note that this is being said before I have perused either module, so don't hold me to that. Thank you, Marc
