Pod::A...r::sort(3pm)
π Pod::A...r::sort(3pm)
okay bestie, you found it β this is part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's about Pod::Abstract::Filter::sort. yes the title is abbreviated weirdly, that's just how the page header renders it, the real name is the full one. anyway. let's go β¨
β¨ NAME β¨
Pod::A...r::sort β wait no, it's Pod::Abstract::Filter::sort, and it does exactly one iconic thing: it alphabetically sorts sub-sections within a POD section. that's it. that's the whole job. and it ate. π
πΈ USAGE πΈ
- Sort the
METHODSsection in the target document:
paf sort -heading=METHODS Your::Module::Name
- Sort as specified, where your document has:
=head1 METHODS
=for sorting
{etc}
In this case the =for sorting label will cause all subheadings to be sorted alphabetically, you don't need to specify a section. π¦
paf sort Your::Module::Name
lowkey no cap that's the whole workflow. drop the =for sorting marker in your POD and the subheadings line up alphabetical like they got a personal stylist. π

π POD ERRORS π
ngl bestie, this document had some coding errors and the parser is calling it out. here's the tea:
Around line 75:
You forgot a '=back' before '=head1'
π yeah... someone forgot a =back. it happens to the best of us. it's literally fine, just a little oopsie in the POD markup, the vibes are still immaculate.
fr fr that's the whole page π«Ά this was generated from perl v5.40.1, dated 2025-11-16, and the footer says Pod::A...r::sort(3pm) β so yeah, if you quote me, cite me. periodt. πβ¨πΈ
