NAME

Tk::Pod - Pod browser toplevel widget

SYNOPSIS

    use Tk::Pod

    Tk::Pod->Dir(@dirs)                 # add dirs to search path for Pod

    $pod = $parent->Pod(
                -file = > $name,        # search and display Pod for name
                -tree = > $bool         # display pod file tree
                );

DESCRIPTION

Simple Pod browser with hypertext capabilities in a "Toplevel" widget

OPTIONS

-tree
Set tree view by default on or off. Default is false.
-exitbutton
Add to the menu an exit entry. This is only useful for standalone pod readers. Default is false. This option can only be set on construction time.

Other options are propagated to the embedded Tk::Pod::Text widget.

BUGS

If you set "-file" while creating the Pod widget, 

    $parent->Pod(-tree => 1, -file => $pod);

then the title will not be displayed correctly. This is because the internal setting of "-title" may override the title setting caused by "-file". So it is better to configure "-file" separately:

    $pod = $parent->Pod(-tree => 1);
    $pod->configure(-file => $pod);
