pod2test - Convert embedded tests and code examples to .t files
pod2test [-Mmodule] [input [output]]
pod2test is a front-end for Pod::Tests (formerly Test::Inline 1). It generates TAP-compatible .t testing scripts from embedded tests and code examples.
If output is not specified, the resulting .t file will go to STDOUT. Otherwise, it will go to the given output file. If input is not given, it will draw from STDIN.
If the given file contains no tests or code examples, no output will be given, no output file will be created and pod2test will exit with 1.
The Test::More module is made available to the testing blocks using the 'no_plan' feature. Any further modules which should be used are specified with -M. UNIMPLEMENTED
This is a very simple rough cut. It only does very rudimentary tests on the examples.
This script has been superceded by inline2test from the newer Test::Inline 2. Most testing code that currently works with pod2test should continue to work with the new version.
inline2test
pod2test
The most notable exceptions are =for begin and =for end, which are deprecated in the newer version.
=for begin
=for end
After upgrading Test::Inline, Pod::Tests and pod2test were split out to provide a compatibility package for legacy code.
pod2test will stay in CPAN, but should remain unchanged indefinately, with the exception of any minor bugs that will require squishing.
Bugs in this dist should be reported via the following URL. Feature requests should not be submitted, as further development is now occuring in Test::Inline.
