use Pod::Text;
pod2text("perlfunc.pod");
Also:
pod2text [B<-a>] [B<->I<width>] < input.pod
$Pod::Text::termcap=1
. If termcap has not been enabled, then backspaces will be used to simulate
bold and underlined text.
A separate pod2text program is included that is primarily a wrapper for Pod::Text.
The single function pod2text()
can take the optional options -a
for an alternative output format, then a -width option with the max terminal width, followed by one or two 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 a filehandle glob where output should be sent.
