💅 NAME 💅

Okay so meet Pod::Perldoc::ToNroff(3pm) — manual name folded in right here like a little name tag, from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide. This class has one iconic job: Pod::Perldoc::ToNroff — let Perldoc convert Pod to nroff. Periodt. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Run this exact cutie:

  perldoc -o nroff -d something.3 Some::Modulename

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Bestie, this is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to use Pod::Man as a formatter class. It’s giving very useful little helper energy. 💖

The following options are supported:

  • center — supported ✨
  • date — supported ✨
  • fixed — supported ✨
  • fixedbold — supported ✨
  • fixeditalic — supported ✨
  • fixedbolditalic — supported ✨
  • quotes — supported ✨
  • release — supported ✨
  • section — supported ✨

Those options are explained in Pod::Man.

For example:

  perldoc -o nroff -w center:Pod -d something.3 Some::Modulename

⚠️ CAVEAT ⚠️

Heads up, bestie: this module may change to use a different pod-to-nroff formatter class in the future, and this may change what options are supported. So don’t get too attached to the exact option list forever, iykyk. 👀
