NAME

       Pod::Index::Builder - Build a pod index

SYNOPSIS

           use Pod::Index::Builder;

           my $p = Pod::Index::Builder->new(
               pi_base => $base_path,
           );
           for my $file (@ARGV) {
               $p->parse_from_file($file);
           }

           $p->print_index;

DESCRIPTION

       This is a subclass of Pod::Parser that reads POD and outputs nothing.  However, it saves
       the position of every X<> entry it sees. The index can be retrieved as a hashref, or
       printed in a format that is understandable by Pod::Index::Search.

METHODS

       new The constructor, inherited from Pod::Parser. The only optional argument that  cares
           about is "pi_base". If given, it is used as a base when converting pathnames to
           package names. For example, if "pi_path" = "lib", the filename lib/Pod/Index.pm will
           turn into "Pod::Index", instead of the undesirable "lib::Pod::Index".

       pod_index
           Retrieves the index as a hashref. The hash keys are the keywords contained in the X<>
           tags, normalized to lowercase; the values are array references of Pod::Index::Entry
           objects.

       print_index
               $parser->print_index($fh);
               $parser->print_index($filename);
               $parser->print_index();

           Prints the index to the given output filename or filehandle (or STDOUT by default).
           The format is tab-delimited, with the following columns:

               1) keyword
               2) podname
               3) line number
               4) context (title of section containing this entry)

           The index is sorted by keyword in a case-insensitive way.
