okay bestie, welcome to Pod::Perldoc::ToPod from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide — the manual page that’s lowkey here to let Perldoc render Pod as ... Pod! ✨🦋

💖 NAME 💖

Pod::Perldoc::ToPod — let Perldoc render Pod as ... Pod! 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Run this:

perldoc -opod Some::Modulename

and rn that’s currently the same as this:

perldoc -u Some::Modulename

No cap, those two are giving the same energy rn. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This is a “plug-in” class that lets Perldoc display Pod source as itself! It’s pretty Zen, huh? 🧘‍♀️✨

Currently this class works by just filtering out the non-Pod stuff from a given input file. That’s the whole main-character move: non-Pod stuff gets filtered out, and Pod source stays iconic. 🎀

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

  • Pod::Perldoc — the other module to go check out, iykyk. 🫶
