NAME

App::PODUtils - Command-line utilities related to POD

VERSION

This document describes version 0.047 of App::PODUtils (from Perl distribution App-PODUtils), released on 2020-03-08.

SYNOPSIS

This distribution provides the following command-line utilities related to Perl POD:

• dump-pod-structure

• elide-pod

• poddump

• podless

• reverse-pod-headings

• sort-pod-headings

FUNCTIONS

dump_pod_structure

Usage:

 dump_pod_structure(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]

Dump POD structure using Pod::Elemental.

This is actually just a shortcut for:

 % podsel FILENAME --root --dump --transform Pod5 --transform Nester

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

• pod => perl::pod_filename (default: "-")

  Path to a .POD file, or a POD name (e.g. Foo::Bar) which will be searched in @INC.

  "-" means standard input.

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)

reverse_pod_headings

Usage:

 reverse_pod_headings(%args) -> any

Reverse POD headings.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

• command => str (default: "head1")

• pod => perl::pod_filename (default: "-")

  Path to a .POD file, or a POD name (e.g. Foo::Bar) which will be searched in @INC.

  "-" means standard input.

Return value: (any)

sort_pod_headings

Usage:

 sort_pod_headings(%args) -> any

Sort POD headings in text.

This utility sorts POD headings in text. By default it sorts =head1 headings. For example this POD:

 =head1 b
 
 some text for b
 
 =head1 a
 
 text for a
 
 =head2 a2
 
 =head2 a1
 
 =head1 c
 
 text for c

will be sorted into:

 =head1 a
 
 text for a
 
 =head2 a2
 
 =head2 a1
 
 =head1 b
 
 some text for b
 
 =head1 c
 
 text for c

Note that the =head2 headings are not sorted. If you want to sort those, you can rerun the utility and specify the --command=head2 option.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

• command => str (default: "head1")

• pod => perl::pod_filename (default: "-")

  Path to a .POD file, or a POD name (e.g. Foo::Bar) which will be searched in @INC.

  "-" means standard input.

• sort_args => hash

  Arguments to pass to the Sort::Sub::* routine.

• sort_sub => sortsub::spec

  Name of a Sort::Sub::* module (without the prefix).

Return value: (any)
