💅 NAME 💅

Pod::Perldoc::ToXml — bestie, this is the little plug that lets Perldoc render Pod as XML ✨

So like, the whole manual you're reading rn is Pod::Pe...c::ToXml(3pm) from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide — iconic of it, honestly 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

That's the whole vibe. One line. Slay 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so picture this: this is a "plug-in" class, right? And what it does is let Perldoc use Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream as a formatter class. Like it's the middleman, the matchmaker, the friend who introduces your Pod to XML and they hit it off immediately 🫶

And plot twist — this thing is actually a Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream subclass, so it inherits all of its options. Everything the parent's got, it's got too. Periodt. 👑

⚠️ Real talk though: you have to have installed Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream (it comes from the Pod::Simple dist), or this class won't work. Like, at all. No notes, no workaround, it's giving "you can't sit with us" 💀
