✨ PODSECTION 💅

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for podsection from the User Contributed Perl Documentation — literally a lil tool that goes into a module's POD and pulls out just the sections you ask for. slay. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

podsection — select sections from Module's POD. that's it, that's the whole thing, it's giving "small but mighty" ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the shape of it, no cap:

podsection [-h] [-u] ModuleName SectionName [SectionName ...]

like, for example:

podsection Catalyst SYNOPSIS   # as text
podsection Catalyst req res    # as text
podsection -u Catalyst req res # as plain pod
💀 now the REAL TEA — some modules just do NOT work, bestie:
podsection CGI header # doesn't work correctly

and mixed-level sections? nope, also a no:

podsection Catalyst SYNOPSIS res  # only show one(in this case, show only SYNOPSIS)

why tho?? because Pod::Section only searches name in one level. so if in one level, one/some of them is/are found, it finishes to search. periodt. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -u — display POD as plain POD. that's the vibe. 🫶
  • -h — show this usage. the classic "help me help you" flag. 💖

😭 BUGS 😭

ngl, the way to search section is poor. this cannot find section correctory in some module. 😔 (fr fr, that's a direct quote of the energy.)
