💖 Pod::Perldoc::ToChecker(3perl) 💖

okay bestie, so you know how perldoc is literally the moment? well this is the little plug-in that makes it go "hold up, your Pod has some issues" instead of rendering it pretty. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

Pod::Perldoc::ToChecker — it's giving "let Perldoc check Pod for errors" 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

  % perldoc -o checker SomeFile.pod
  No Pod errors in SomeFile.pod
  (or an error report)

like, either it slays and reports zero errors, or it hands you the whole messy report. both are valid.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this is a "plug-in" class that lets Perldoc use Pod::Simple::Checker as a "formatter" class — or, if that one's not available, then Pod::Checker — so it can check a given Pod file for errors. 💅

And the tea is: this is actually a Pod::Simple::Checker (or Pod::Checker) subclass, which means it inherits all its options. every single one. it's the nepo baby of checkers and honestly? we stan.
