And since, that in turn is a subclass of Pod::Simple, you can use any of its methods. This means you can output to a string instead of a file, or you can parse from an array. .PP This class strives to return the Pod lines of the input completely unchanged, except for any necessary translation into Perl's internal encoding, and it makes no effort to return trailing spaces on lines; these likely will be stripped. If the input pod is well-formed with no warnings nor errors generated, the extracted pod should generate the same documentation when formatted by a Pod formatter as the original file does. .PP By default, warnings are output to \s-1STDERR\s0 .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" Pod::Simple, Pod::Simple::Methody .SH "SUPPORT" .IX Header "SUPPORT" Questions or discussion about \s-1POD\s0 and Pod::Simple should be sent to the mail list.
