Re: [Module::Build] PROPOSAL: M::B should install HTML documentation

[Chris D. <ch...@cl...>]

Kevin,

It would certainly be possible to fold it in.  I originally wrote it 
for internal company use only, so I didn't try to merge it with M::B 
directly.  I'm using it for our ActionScript/Flash packager, which 
subclasses Module::Build::Html for POD extraction (since man pages are 
pretty meaningless to Flash developers).
