Pod::Ev...::Simple(3)

okay so bestie 💖 welcome to the Pod::Ev...::Simple(3) page — it's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's here to explain the little subclass that just hands you an array of the stuff Pod::Eventual finds. ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

Pod::Eventual::Simple — just get an array of the stuff Pod::Eventual finds. periodt. 👑

💅 VERSION 💅

version 0.094003 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use Pod::Eventual::Simple;

my $output = Pod::Eventual::Simple->read_file('awesome.pod');

okay so here's the tea: this subclass just returns an array reference when you use the reading methods. that arrayref contains all the Pod events and non-Pod content. 🔥

non-Pod content is given as hashrefs like this:

{
  type       => 'nonpod',
  content    => "This is just some text\n",
  start_line => 162,
}

and if you want just the POD events? grep for "type" not equals "nonpod". iykyk. 🫶

🌈 PERL VERSION 🌈

this library should run on perls released even a long time ago. it should work on any version of perl released in the last five years. ✨

although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. the version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl. that's the caveat, bestie — don't come for me. 💀
