[MacPerl] pod URL syntax



How do I access Perl documentation from within BBEdit?  I guess it must be
possible through Shuck's "geturl" interface, but so far I haven't been able
to figure out the necessary syntax of "pod:" URL's.

This is an AppleScript for BBEdit's script menu that I am using now.  It
works for entries in the 'perlfunc' man page.  How do I do a general
lookup?

tell application "Finder"
    set ShuckFolder to (container of (path to application "Shuck")) as text
end tell
tell application "Shuck"
    activate
    geturl ShuckFolder & "pod:perlfunc.pod#" & (contents of selection of
application "BBEdit 4.0")
end tell

Any comments appreciated
