Pod::PlainText 1.34

Pod::PlainText is a Perl module that can convert POD data to formatted ASCII text.

SYNOPSIS

use Pod::PlainText;
my $parser = Pod::PlainText->new (sentence => 0, width => 78);

# Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT.
$parser->parse_from_filehandle;

# Read POD from file.pod and write to file.txt.
$parser->parse_from_file (file.pod, file.txt);

Pod::PlainText is a module that can convert documentation in the POD format (the preferred language for documenting Perl) into formatted ASCII. It uses no special formatting controls or codes whatsoever, and its output is therefore suitable for nearly any device.

As a derived class from Pod::Parser, Pod::PlainText supports the same methods and interfaces. See Pod::Parser for all the details; briefly, one creates a new parser with Pod::PlainText->new() and then calls either parse_from_filehandle() or parse_from_file().
