💖 NAME 💖

podpath — print the path to the Pod. Yes bestie, this is the podpath(1) manual page, coming at you from User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it is literally here to hand you a path. 💅✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

podpath prints the path to the Pod. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

Here's the tea: podpath calls stdpods underneath if the Pod name includes perl. Otherwise, it searches down @INC, printing the .pod filename if there is a separate Pod file, otherwise printing the pm filename. This accommodates systems where the Pod lives in a separate file from the module file. No cap. 🦋

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

Okay so first up:

$ podpath Cwd
/usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/Cwd.pm

It works with alternate installations, too:

$ devperl -S podpath perlfunc
/usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/pod/perlfunc.pod

$ oldperl -S podpath IO::Handle
/usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00404/IO/Handle.pm

$ filsperl -S podpath Thread
/usr/local/filsperl/lib/5.00554/i686-linux-thread/Thread.pm
