    I got the new installhtml from CPAN
    (TOMC/scripts/pod2html-v2.0beta.shar.gz)
    
    I had problems getting the system call to splitpod at line 376 to work.
    
    1. splitroot was not being found
    2. splitroot was not finding its library
    3. I changed htmlroot to podroot at line 175 to match the documentation.
