NAME Pod::Definitions -- extract main sections and contained definitions from Pod VERSION version 0.03 SYNOPSIS my $pod_file = Pod::Definitions->new(); $pod_file->parse_file($file_name); DESCRIPTION This class uses Pod::Headings to parse a Pod file and extract the top-level (head1) headings, and the names of the functions, methods, events, or such as documented therein. Heading names, presumed to be written in the English language, are simplifed for indexing purposes. (See Pod::Headings::Heuristic for details.) For example: What is the Q function? -> Q function How can I blip the blop? -> Blip the blop Why doesn't my socket have a packet? -> Socket have a packet Where are the pockets on the port? -> Pockets on the port I need to reap the zombie -> Reap the zombie What does the error "Disk full" mean? -> Disk full What about backwards compatibility? -> Backwards compatibility Reaping the zombie from proctab -> Zombie, reaping from proctab $c = Mojo::Path->new() -> new Currently, captialization (other than rewrites of type type shown above) is mostly left for the caller to handle. METHODS new Creates a new object of type Pod::Definitions parse_file ($filename) Parse a podfile, or Perl source file. Returns the Pod::Headings object, which, as a subclass of Pod::Simple, may give various useful information about the parsed document (e.g., the line_count() or pod_para_count() methods, or the source_dead() method which will be true if the Pod::Simple parser successfully read, and came to the end of, a document). file Local path to file as passed to parse_file manpage Full name of manpage (e.g., 'Mojo::Path'). module Module leaf name (e.g., 'Path') sections Hash (with the key being the toplevel section, e.g., "FUNCTIONS") of arrays of section names, or undef if no sections (other than the standard NAME and SEE ALSO) were given in the Pod file SEE ALSO Pod::Simple, Pod::Headings SUPPORT This module is managed in an open GitHub repository, .
