Description: modules for parsing/translating POD format documents
This package contains the following mdoules for using Perl5 "pod" (Plain Old
Documentation).
"Pod::Parser", which provides a base class for parsing and selecting sections
of POD documentation from an input stream.
"Pod::Select", which provides a subclass of Pod::Parser and an exported
function named "podselect()" to dump selected sections of raw pod
documentation from an input stream.
"Pod::PlainText", which is a replacement for "Pod::Text" and the
corresponding "pod2text()" function. It is derived from the Pod::Parser
class. As of perl 5.00_58, Pod::PlainText has been re-written by Russ
Allbery, and has been renamed to Pod::Text in the core Perl distribution
(replacing the previous implementation of Pod::Text). The Pod::PlainText
module is still provided with Pod::Parser solely for backward
compatibility.
"Pod::InputObjects": Some input objects needed by Pod::Parser, and for
advanced users of Pod::Parser that need more about a command besides its name
and text.
"Pod::ParseUtils", a module with several object-oriented helpers for POD
parsing and processing. Probably the most important is Pod::Hyperlink for
parsing and expanding POD hyperlinks L<...>.
This distribution is considered to be legacy - it has been superseded by
Pod::Simple which brings more robustness, unicode and various other benefits.
It has been removed from perl core after 5.31.0, and is packaged only for
backward compatibility.
