But I ran foul of privileges, bog standard users aren't allowed to play in the system folder. I modified the script, at the end of the do shell script line I appended :

You'll probably find that if you just type

sudo -s

in Terminal, you'll be OK. But don't do this in an unsafe environment.

Don't run as admin just so the rude pod2html can dump scratch files all over. Try this instead:

set pods to "" & (path to startup disk) & "System:Library:Perl:Pods:"
set ls to list folder pods
set ppt to "Choose a pod"
choose from list ls with prompt ppt default items "perlreftut.pod"
set choice to result as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"."}
set pod to first text item of choice
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}
do shell script "cd /tmp; pod2html /System/Library/Perl/pods/" & pod & ".pod --outfile=" & pod & ".html; open " & pod & ".html"
