Pod::Hlp 1.02

Pod::Hlp is a Perl module that can convert POD data to formatted VMS HLP Help module text.

SYNOPSIS

use Pod::Hlp;

pod2hlp("perlfunc.pod",$top_help_level,*Filehandle);

Also:

pod2hlp < input.pod

Also:

perl pod2hlb

Pod::Hlp is a module that can convert documentation in the POD format (such as can be found throughout the Perl distribution) into formatted VMS *.HLP files. Such files can be inserted into an .HLB library through the LIBRARY/HELP/REPLACE system call, or via the use of the pod2hlb script supplied with the kit. A separate pod2hlp program is included that is primarily a wrapper for Pod::Hlp.

The single function pod2hlp() can take one, two, or three arguments. The first should be the name of a file to read the pod from, or " <&stdin" to read from STDIN. A second argument, if provided, should be an integer indicating the help header level of the file as a whole where ?1? is the default. A third argument, if provided, should be a filehandle glob where output should be sent.
