=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Pod::Example qw(get sections);
my $example = get($file_or_module[, $section[, $number_of_example]]);
my ($example, $filename) = get($file_or_module[, $section[, $number_of_example]]);

=head1 SUBROUTINES
=head2 C<get>
my $example = get($file_or_module[, $section[, $number_of_example]]);
my ($example, $filename) = get($file_or_module[, $section[, $number_of_example]]);
Get content of example. If detect POD comment with filename=FILENAME returns
filename string. It's useful for generating of examples from documentation.
