Pod::Simple::JustPod(3perl) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Pod::Simple::JustPod(3perl)
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
