pod2man seems ok, but pod2html produces wrong output.

$ cygcheck pod2html
Found: C:\cygwin\bin\pod2html
C:\cygwin\bin\pod2htmlcygcheck: C:\cygwin\bin\pod2html is not a DLL: 
magic number 2123 (8483) '#!'

wget http://waterlan.home.xs4all.nl/dos2unix/dos2unix-7.2.tar.gz
tar xzf dos2unix-7.2.tar.gz
cd dos2unix-7.2
make maintainer-clean
make html

now open man/uk/man1/dos2unix.htm

It looks like this http://waterlan.home.xs4all.nl/tmp/dos2unix.htm
while it should look like 
http://waterlan.home.xs4all.nl/dos2unix/uk/man1/dos2unix.htm

It could be a pod2html bug. I know that between perl 5.14.2 and 5.18 the 
pod2html output changed from plain UTF-8 to ASCII with ampersand codes. 
I have asked the maintainer about it, but I got no answer.
