NAME

       Pod::Tree::PerlFunc - translate perlfunc.pod to HTML

SYNOPSIS

         $perl_map  = Pod::Tree::PerlMap->new;
         $perl_func = Pod::Tree::PerlFunc->new($perl_dir, $HTML_dir, $perl_map, %opts);

         $perl_func->scan;
         $perl_func->index;
         $perl_func->translate;

DESCRIPTION

       "Pod::Tree::PerlFunc" translates perlfunc.pod to HTML.  It creates a separate HTML page
       for each function description in perlfunc.pod. The pages for the individual descriptions
       are named after the function and written to a func/ subdirectory.  perlfunc.html is
       generated as an index to all the pages in func/.

       "Pod::Tree::PerlFunc" generates and uses an index of the functions that it finds in
       perlfunc.pod to construct HTML links.  Other modules can also use this index.

METHODS

       $perl_func = "new" "Pod::Tree::PerlFunc" $perl_dir, $HTML_dir, $perl_map, %options
           Creates and returns a new "Pod::Tree::PerlFunc" object.

           $perl_dir is the root of the Perl source tree.

           $HTML_dir is the directory where HTML files will be written.

           $perl_map maps function names to URLs.

           %options are passed through to "Pod::Tree::HTML".

       $perl_func->"scan"
           Reads perlfunc.pod and identifies all the functions in it.  Each function that is
           identified is entered into $perl_map.

       $perl_func->"index"
           Generates a top-level index of all the functions.  The index is written to
           HTML_dir"/pod/perlfunc.html".

       $perl_func->"translate"
           Translates each function found by "scan" to HTML.  The HTML pages are written to
           HTML_dir"/pod/func/".

LINKING

       "Pod::Tree::PerlFunc" indexes every "=item" paragraph in perlfunc.html. To link, for
       example, to the "abs" function, write

           L<func/abs>
