VERSION

version 1.100

SYNOPSIS

my $p=Pod::Strip->new; # create parser
my $podless; # set output string
$p->output_string(\$podless); # see Pod::Simple
$p->parse_string_document($code); # or some other parsing method
# from Pod::Simple
# $podless will now contain code without any POD

DESCRIPTION

Pod::Strip is a subclass of Pod::Simple that strips all POD from Perl Code.

METHODS

All methods besides those listed here are inherited from Pod::Simple

replace_with_comments

Call this method with a true argument to replace POD with comments (looking like "# stripped POD") instead of stripping it.

This has the effect that line numbers get reported correctly in error messages etc.
