NAME

App::podtohtml - Convert POD to HTML

VERSION

This document describes version 0.001 of App::podtohtml (from Perl distribution App-podtohtml), released on 2017-01-31.

FUNCTIONS

podtohtml(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

Convert POD to HTML.

Examples:

  • Convert POD file to HTML, print result to STDOUT:

    podtohtml( infile => "some.pod");

  • Convert POD file to HTML, show result in browser:

    podtohtml( infile => "some.pod", browser => 1);

This is a thin wrapper for Pod::Html and an alternative CLI to pod2html to remove some annoyances that I experience with pod2html, e.g. the default cache directory being . (so it leaves .tmp files around). This CLI also offers tab completion.

It does not yet offer as many options as pod2html.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • browser => bool

    Instead of outputing HTML to STDOUT/file, view it in browser.

  • infile => perl_modname_or_filename (default: "-")

    Input file (POD).

    If not found, will search in for .pod or .pm files in @INC.

  • outfile => filename

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)
