NAME
Pod::Tree::PerlPod - translate Perl PODs to HTML
SYNOPSIS
$perl_map = Pod::Tree::PerlMap->new; $perl_pod = Pod::Tree::PerlPod->new( $perl_dir, $HTML_dir, $perl_map, %opts ); $perl_pod->scan; $perl_pod->index; $perl_pod->translate; $top = $perl_pod->get_top_entry;
DESCRIPTION
"Pod::Tree::PerlPod" translates Perl PODs to HTML. It does a recursive subdirectory search through $perl_dir to find PODs. "Pod::Tree::PerlPod" generates a top-level index of all the PODs that it finds, and writes it to HTML_dir"/pod.html". "Pod::Tree::PerlPod" generates and uses an index of the PODs that it finds to construct HTML links. Other modules can also use this index.
METHODS
$perl_pod = "new" "Pod::Tree::PerlPod" $perl_dir, $HTML_dir, $perl_map, %options Creates and returns a new "Pod::Tree::PerlPod" 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 POD names to URLs. %options are passed through to "Pod::Tree::HTML". $perl_pod->"scan"; Does a recursive subdirectory search through $perl_dir to locate PODs. Each POD that is located is entered into $perl_map. $perl_pod->"index" Generates a top-level index of all the PODs. The index is written to HTML_dir"/pod.html". $perl_pod->"translate" Translates each POD found by "scan" to HTML. The HTML pages are written to HTML_dir, in a subdirectory hierarchy that mirrors the the Perl source distribution. $perl_pod->"get_top_entry" Returns a hash reference of the form { URL => $URL, description => $description } "Pod::Tree::PerlTop" uses this to build a top-level index of all the Perl PODs.
LINKING
"Pod::Tree::PerlPod" indexes PODs by the base name of the POD file. To link to perlsub.pod, write L<perlsub>
