The perl INSTALL file says the following:
HTML pages
Currently, the standard perl installation does not do anything with
HTML documentation, but that may change in the future. Further,
some add-on modules may wish to install HTML documents. The html
Configure variables listed above are provided if you wish to spec-
ify where such documents should be placed. The default is "none",
but will likely eventually change to something useful based on user
feedback.
