Doxyge...l::POD(3pm)

💖 Doxygen::Filter::Perl::POD — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is Doxygen::Filter::Perl::POD(3pm), a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 1am 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

Doxygen::Filter::Perl::POD — a perl code pre-filter for Doxygen. that's the whole vibe. a lil helper that pre-filters your perl so Doxygen can eat it 🍓

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so <purple>Doxygen::Filter::Perl::POD</purple> is a helper module for use with <purple>Doxygen::Filter::Perl</purple>, and bestie, listen: it should NOT be called directly. it's the backstage crew, not the main character. 🙈

what it actually does: this class overloads some of the methods found in <purple>Pod::POM::View::HTML</purple> and converts their output into a Doxygen style that <purple>Doxygen::Filter::Perl</purple> can use. iconic behaviour honestly 💅

and the reason the author went this route? <purple>Pod::POM</purple> appears to be well established and pretty good at parsing POD, so — and I quote the spirit of it — why reinvent the wheel when this wheel works pretty well?? periodt. no cap. 🔥

now, this class should probably find its way into the <purple>Pod::POM::View</purple> tree at some point. but for now? it is here. living its little life. 🎀
