💖 NAME 💖

Pod::Perldoc::ToMan — bestie, this is the lil glow-up class that lets Perldoc render your Pod as actual man pages. yes, the real ones. iconic behavior ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

perldoc -o man Some::Modulename

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so this is a "plug-in" class, right? it hands Perldoc the keys so it can use Pod::Man and groff to read your Pod pages. lowkey a whole backstage pass 🫶

The following options are supported: center, date, fixed, fixedbold, fixeditalic, fixedbolditalic, quotes, release, section

(and yes, those options are explained over in Pod::Man — go read that one too, i'm not gatekeeping 🧚)

For example:

perldoc -o man -w center:Pod Some::Modulename

💀 CAVEAT 💀

real talk: this module may change to use a different pod-to-nroff formatter class in the future, and that could change which options are supported. so don't build your whole personality on the current option list, k? 😭
