NAME

Tk::Pod::Text - Pod browser widget

SYNOPSIS

    use Tk::Pod::Text;

    $pod = $parent->Scrolled("PodText",
			     -file	 => $file,
			     -scrollbars => "osoe",
		            );

    $file = $pod->cget('-path');   # ?? the name path is confusing :-(

DESCRIPTION

Tk::Pod::Text is a readonly text widget that can display Pod documentation.

OPTIONS

-file

The named (pod) file to be displayed.

-path

Return the expanded path of the currently displayed Pod. Useable only with the cget method.

-poddone

A callback to be called if parsing and displaying of the Pod is done.

-wrap

Set the wrap mode. Default is word.

-scrollbars

The position of the scrollbars, see also Tk::Scrolled. By default, the vertical scrollbar is on the right on Windows systems and on the left on X11 systems.

Note that it is not necessary and usually will do the wrong thing if you put a Tk::Pod::Text widget into a Scrolled component.

Other options are propagated to the embedded Tk::More widget.

ENVIRONMENT

TKPODDEBUG

Turn debugging mode on if set to a true value.

TKPODPRINT

Use the specified program for printing the current pod. If the string contains a %s, then filename substitution is used, otherwise the filename of the Pod document is appended to the value of TKPODPRINT. Here is a silly example to send the Pod to a web browser:

env TKPODPRINT="pod2html %s > %s.html; galeon %s.html" tkpod ...

TKPODEDITOR

Use the specified program for editing the current pod. If TKPODEDITOR is not specified then the first defined value of XEDITOR, VISUAL, or EDITOR is used on Unix. As a last fallback, ptked or vi are used, depending on platform and existance of a terminal.

TKPODMANVIEWER

Use the specified program as the manpage viewer. The manpage viewer should accept a manpage URL (man://manpage(section)). Alternatively the special viewer "internal" may be used. As fallback, the default GNOME and/or KDE manpage viewer will be called.
