laid out by A<VENDOR>, as specified at:

DESCRIPTION

The =alias directive provides a way to define lexically scoped synonyms for longer Pod sequences, (meta)object declarators from the code, or even entire chunks of ambient source. These synonyms can then be inserted into subsequent Pod using the formatting code.

Note that =alias is a fundamental Pod directive, like =begin or =for; there are no equivalent paragraph or delimited forms.

There are two forms of =alias directive: macro aliases and contextual aliases. Both forms are lexically scoped to the surrounding Pod block.
