www.parrotcode.org/ points to 0.0.10

[Mitchell N Charity]

The parrot homepage
http://www.parrotcode.org/
currently says
Periodic releases will appear on CPAN; the current release is
version 0.0.10, and can be found in the CPAN source directory.
And "source directory" is a link to parrot-0.0.10.tar.gz

The similarity in release numbers is particularly unfortunate.

Sorry I missed that when looking at the page. (Saw "source directory",
thought "ah, users will see the more recent releases in the directory").

Updating the homepage soon would seem desirable.

This is on my list for tonight. I've got something all ready to go
but have been busy with a $NEW_JOB.

Good catch.

I've fixed the URLs.

This is because the links are funny.

The best way to get proper links is to do something like:

L<This is CNN|http://www.cnn.com>

That's not great.. but it tends to render better.

Our official Pod renderer is Pod::Simple::HTML, so you can test it
out.

I'm throwing this back to p6i, so somebody can fix it, and maybe take
another pass through the FAQ, addming more F.. A... Q...s ;)

I just reported this as a bug on Pod::Simple::HTML.

The problem is in line 168-9

my $out = $to if defined $to and length $to;
$out .= "#" . $section if defined $section and length $section;

One of those "Deprecated use of my() in conditional" cases they've been
talking about on perl5-porters.

my $out;
$out = $to if defined $to and length $to;
$out .= "#" . $section if defined $section and length $section;

fixes it.

Looks like we'll be modifying Pod-Simple after all.
