Pod::S...ontent(3perl)

✨ NAME ✨

Pod::Simple::TextContent — bestie, this one just grabs the text content of Pod, that's it, that's the whole job 💅

(also hi, this is page Pod::S...ontent(3perl) from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide, ok let's GO 🦋)

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

TODO

 perl -MPod::Simple::TextContent -e \
  "exit Pod::Simple::TextContent->filter(shift)->any_errata_seen" \
  thingy.pod

no cap, the first line literally just says TODO, we love a work-in-progress icon 😭

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So like. This class parses Pod and dumps just the text content. That's the vibe. It's mainly meant for use by the Pod::Simple test suite (iykyk), but honestly? you might find some other use for it, and that's your business 🫶

It's a subclass of Pod::Simple and inherits all its methods — so everything Pod::Simple can do, this lil diva can do too. main character energy by default ✨
