Yes, this behaviour is expected but it is definitely not documented

Subject: pod/*.html -- all hyperlinks are invalid
From: "Darren/Torin/Who Ever..." <torin@daft.com>
Files: INSTALL pod/perldiag.pod installhtml
The INSTALL file says:
(cd pod && make html && mv *.html <www home dir>)
But the resulting *.html files have hyperlinks that look like this;
<A HREF="/pod/perlfaq.html">perlfaq</A>
The /pod/ part shouldn't be there. As a result, all of the hyperlinks are
invalid (unless, of course, you install the *.html files in /pod/).

Win32 uses something similar to the suggested method with
installhtml, and it seems to work reasonably well. I'll supply
a patch if I wander anywhere close to a UNIX box in the
next 24 hours, and someone else hasn't already done it. :-)

I don't understand how "make html" is intended to be used.
By default (without editing the Makefile) the resulting .html files
are useless -- they have broken cross-reference links.
If you set HTMLROOT=. in pod/Makefile, then cross-references
say .//pod/... which does not work either.
Setting HTMLROOT to an absolute path doesn't work either (the
spurrious /pod/ is always there).
What is the intent of the current setup (p54rc1)?

However, 5.004 changed the behavior of Syslog.pm in an icky way.
In 5.003, Syslog called Sys::Hostname to get the name of the
host, and happily used that as the logging host.
Now, Syslog calls Sys::Hostname to get the name of the host,
strips off all the domain info, and uses that as the host:
sub connect {
unless ($host) {
require Sys::Hostname;
my($host_uniq) = Sys::Hostname::hostname();
($host) = $host_uniq =~ /([\w\-]+)/;
}
....etc.....
Was this intentional? It screws up systems which use an FQDN as their
hostname and don't list the stripped-down version in their /etc/hosts
file, because inet_aton fails on the stripped-down name.
Was /([\w\-\.]+)/ what was meant?
