podlinkcheck parses POD in a
Perl
script, module or documentation and checks that L<> link
targets exist, including a section there. Read more in the
online man page (12k, html).
foo.pl:4:1: no module/program/pod "Something::Unknown"
podchecker does a similar thing but only for internal links in a
document. PodLinkCheck checks both internal and external. Usually you should
have target modules or documents installed (in @INC), but if you
have the CPAN indexes then they're consulted to at least check
module existence (not sections within).
