Pod::Simple::JustPod(3pm)
NAME
Pod::Simple::JustPod -- just the Pod, the whole Pod, and nothing but
the Pod
SYNOPSIS
my $infile = "mixed_code_and_pod.pm";
my $outfile = "just_the_pod.pod";
open my $fh, ">$outfile" or die "Can't write to $outfile: $!";
my $parser = Pod::Simple::JustPod->new();
$parser->output_fh($fh);
$parser->parse_file($infile);
close $fh or die "Can't close $outfile: $!";
DESCRIPTION
This class returns a copy of its input, translated into Perl's internal
encoding (UTF-8), and with all the non-Pod lines removed.
This is a subclass of Pod::Simple::Methody and inherits all its
methods. And since, that in turn is a subclass of Pod::Simple, you can
use any of its methods. This means you can output to a string instead
of a file, or you can parse from an array.
This class strives to return the Pod lines of the input completely
unchanged, except for any necessary translation into Perl's internal
encoding, and it makes no effort to return trailing spaces on lines;
these likely will be stripped. If the input pod is well-formed with no
warnings nor errors generated, the extracted pod should generate the
same documentation when formatted by a Pod formatter as the original
file does.
By default, warnings are output to STDERR
