Pod::S...eBridge(3pm)

💖 Pod::S...eBridge(3pm) — the manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manpage for Pod::S...eBridge(3pm), part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation. yes the name is doing the most with that ellipsis. no we are not fixing it. it's iconic, it stays. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Tk::Pod::SimpleBridge — render Pod::Simple events to a Tk::Pod window 🪟✨

like, that's the whole vibe. it bridges. it's in the name. slay.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

  [
    This is a class internal to Tk::Pod.
    No user-serviceable parts inside.
  ]

⚠️ bestie read that again. No user-serviceable parts inside. this is not your module. this is not your friend's module. this is an internal class, and the synopsis is literally just a bracket of text telling you to back up. hands off the machinery. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea. this class is full of methods that Tk::Pod — and specifically Tk::Pod::Text — calls to render a pod page's text straight into its window. 🪄

and how does it do the parsing? it pulls in Pod::Simple, specifically Pod::Simple::PullParser. that's the engine. that's the girl doing the work behind the curtain. 👑

history lesson, because i love a glow-up story: Tk::Pod used to use Tk::Parse to do the Pod-parsing — and Tk::Parse was a snapshot of an old old Pod-parser. like, ancient. a relic. 🏺

but not anymore. it now uses Pod::Simple via this module. character development. we love to see it. 🦋

👑 AUTHOR 👑

Sean M. Burke <sburke@cpan.org> 💖 — with bits of Tk code cribbed from the old Tk::Pod::Text code that Nick Ing-Simmons <nick@ni-s.u-net.com> originally wrote.

Current maintainer is Slaven Rezić <slaven@rezic.de>. 🌟

so like: one legend wrote it, another legend's code got borrowed (respectfully, "cribbed" is the word on the page and we're keeping it fr fr), and a third legend keeps it alive today. three icons. one module. it's giving collab. 🤝✨

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this was perl v5.34.0, dated 2022-06-28, and you just read Pod::S...eBridge(3pm) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation. go forth and don't touch the internal class. ily, bye 💅💖🎀🦋
