Pod::Simple::SimpleTree -- parse Pod into a simple parse tree
% cat ptest.pod =head1 PIE I like B<pie>! % perl -MPod::Simple::SimpleTree -MData::Dumper -e \ "print Dumper(Pod::Simple::SimpleTree->new->parse_file(shift)->root)" \ ptest.pod $VAR1 = [ 'Document', { 'start_line' => 1 }, [ 'head1', { 'start_line' => 1 }, 'PIE' ], [ 'Para', { 'start_line' => 3 }, 'I like ', [ 'B', {}, 'pie' ], '!' ] ];
This class is of interest to people writing a Pod processor/formatter.
This class takes Pod and parses it, returning a parse tree made just of arrayrefs, and hashrefs, and strings.
This is a subclass of Pod::Simple and inherits all its methods.
This class is inspired by XML::Parser's "Tree" parsing-style, although it doesn't use exactly the same LoL format.
At the end of the parse, call $parser->root to get the tree's top node.
$parser->root
Every element node in the parse tree is represented by an arrayref of the form: [ elementname, \%attributes, ...subnodes... ]. See the example tree dump in the Synopsis, above.
[ elementname, \%attributes, ...subnodes... ]
Every text node in the tree is represented by a simple (non-ref) string scalar. So you can test ref($node) to see whather you have an element node or just a text node.
ref($node)
The top node in the tree is [ 'Document', \%attributes, ...subnodes... ]
[ 'Document', \%attributes, ...subnodes... ]
