💖 Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream — turn Pod into XML 💖

okay bestie, this is the 3perl manual page for Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream, and it's literally the glow-up station where your boring old Pod gets turned into sparkly XML. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream — turn Pod into XML 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

like, that's it. that's the whole vibe. copy-paste it and slay. 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream is a subclass of Pod::Simple, right? and what it does is parse Pod and turn it into XML. that's the whole job. iconic behavior, honestly. 👑

and because it's a subclass, Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream inherits methods from Pod::Simple. so everything Pod::Simple can do? yeah, it's in here too. main character inheriting the whole family fortune fr fr.

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

  • Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML is rather like this class — lowkey its sibling tbh. peep its documentation for a whole discussion of the differences between them. 👯
  • Pod::Simple, Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML, Pod::SAX
  • Pod::Simple::Subclassing
  • and the older (and possibly obsolete) libraries Pod::PXML and Pod::XML — yes bestie, "possibly obsolete" is a direct quote, tread carefully 💀

🧚 ABOUT EXTENDING POD 🧚

TODO: An example or two of =extend, then point to Pod::Simple::Subclassing

yep. that's the whole section. it's giving unfinished homework, but we respect the honesty. 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈 (the sequel 💫)

  • Pod::Simple
