The London Perl and Raku Workshop takes place on 26th Oct 2024. If your company depends on Perl, please consider sponsoring and/or attending.

NAME

Pod::Cpandoc - a perldoc that works for modules you don't have

SYNOPSIS

    cpandoc Acme::BadExample
        -- works even if you don't have Acme::BadExample installed!

    cpandoc -v '$?'
        -- passes everything through to regular perldoc

    cpandoc -tT Acme::BadExample | grep -i acme
        -- options are respected even if you scrape the module's docs

    vim `cpandoc -l Web::Scraper`
        -- getting the idea yet?

SNEAKY INSTALL

    cpanm Pod::Cpandoc
    alias perldoc=cpandoc

This should work fine since cpandoc respects all perldoc commands. It's a subclass that just falls back to scraping http://search.cpan.org.
