## NAME
    [Pod::Perldoc::ToChecker](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3APerldoc%3A%3AToChecker/markdown) - let Perldoc check Pod for errors

## SYNOPSIS
      % perldoc -o checker SomeFile.pod
      No Pod errors in SomeFile.pod
      (or an error report)

## DESCRIPTION
    This is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to use [Pod::Simple::Checker](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3ASimple%3A%3AChecker/markdown) as a "formatter" class
    (or if that is not available, then [Pod::Checker](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3AChecker/markdown)), to check for errors in a given Pod file.

    This is actually a [Pod::Simple::Checker](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3ASimple%3A%3AChecker/markdown) (or [Pod::Checker](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Pod%3A%3AChecker/markdown)) subclass, and inherits all its
    options.
