💖 Pod::P...::Text(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation and it's literally called Pod::P...::Text(3pm) — yeah the name is shortened like that, don't come for me, that's just how it shows up in the header. anyway. sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Pod::PseudoPod::Text — format PseudoPod as plaintext. that's it, that's the whole job, and it does it gorgeously 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here's the vibe, copy it exactly okay:

perl -MPod::PseudoPod::Text -e \
 "exit Pod::PseudoPod::Text->filter(shift)->any_errata_seen" \
 thingy.pod

no cap, that's the whole incantation. thingy.pod is your file, swap it for whatever yours is called 🌸

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this class? it's a formatter. it scoops up PseudoPod and renders it as wrapped plaintext. like, takes your fancy markup and hands you back nice tidy wrapped text. periodt ✨

the wrapping is done by Text::Wrap, which means you have full permission to change $Text::Wrap::columns however you like. want skinny columns? want chonky columns? go off, it's your world 👑

also, this is a subclass of Pod::PseudoPod and it inherits, like, all of its methods. so everything Pod::PseudoPod can do, this one's got it too. main character energy, honestly 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

go look at these when you're done here, they're all in the same little friend group:

  • Pod::Simple
  • Pod::Simple::TextContent
  • Pod::Text
