DESCRIPTION

       pod2pandoc converts "Plain Old Documentation" format (aka Pod, see perlpod) to the Pandoc
       <http://pandoc.org/> document model for further processing to other document formats
       (HTML, Markdown, LaTeX, PDF, EPUB, docx, ODT, man...).

       By default or with input "-" a document is read from STDIN. Multiple input files are
       combined to one document and listed in document metadata field "file".  The result is
       printed in JSON format or passed to Pandoc if additional options such as "-t" or "-o" are
       given.

       To process a whole directory of ".pm" and/or ".pod" files, specify an input directory as
       first input and an optional output directory as second.
