I tried installing with cpan:

root:epics# cpan install Pod::Simple::HTML
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok
Fetching with LWP:
  ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz

It hangs up on the ftp command.  I think it's probably possible to configure span to work around this problem, but I don't know how to do it.

Sorry for the delay, I’ve been traveling (and my wife says I’m on holiday and shouldn’t be working anyway)...

Apparently Perl 5.8.8 didn’t come with the Pod::Simple::HTML module which I use to convert POD (Plain Old Documentation) into HTML files in the EPICS INSTALL_HTML directory, it first appeared in Perl 5.10 (which was released in December 2007). In an earlier response Matt Newville gave explicit instructions on how to install the module, which should work. Mark’s solution of first building for a different host architecture which has that Perl module is your best workaround if you can’t install it using cpan or some equivalent such as the OpenSUSE package management system.
