pom2 - Man Page
convert POD to Text, HTML, etc., with Pod::POM
Synopsis
pom2 text MyFile.pm > MyFile.txt pom2 html MyFile.pm > MyFile.html pom2 pod MyFile.pm > Myfile.pod pom2 format [options] MyFile.pm > Myfile.xyz
Description
This script uses Pod::POM
to convert a Pod document into text, HTML, back into Pod (e.g. to normalise a document to fix any markup errors), or any other format for which you have a view module.
If the viewer is not one of the viewers bundled with Pod::POM
, the script searches for an installed Pod::POM::View
module that matches the specified format. For example if you have Pod::POM::View::DocBook
installed then you could say:
pod2 docbook MyFile.pm > MyFile.xml
If any options other than --help
are specified then they are passed to the constructor method of the view class. For example:
pod2 docbook --root=chapter --titlecasing MyFile.pm > MyFile.xml
would convert the Pod document to a DocBook chapter document with the titlecasing option enabled. Note that any string prefixed by "--
" is taken as a valid option and passed to the constructor; if no value is specified then a value of 1 is passed in.
