NAME
       Pod::Simple::JustPod -- just the Pod, the whole Pod, and nothing but the Pod


SYNOPSIS
        my $infile  = "mixed_code_and_pod.pm";
        my $outfile = "just_the_pod.pod";
        open my $fh, ">$outfile" or die "Can't write to $outfile: $!";

        my $parser = Pod::Simple::JustPod->new();
        $parser->output_fh($fh);
        $parser->parse_file($infile);
        close $fh or die "Can't close $outfile: $!";


DESCRIPTION
       This class returns a copy of its input, translated into Perl's internal encoding (UTF-8), and with all
       the non-Pod lines removed.

       This is a subclass of Pod::Simple::Methody and inherits all its methods.  And since, that in turn is a
       subclass of Pod::Simple, you can use any of its methods.  This means you can output to a string instead
       of a file, or you can parse from an array.

       This class strives to return the Pod lines of the input completely unchanged, except for any necessary
       translation into Perl's internal encoding, and it makes no effort to return trailing spaces on lines;
       these likely will be stripped.  If the input pod is well-formed with no warnings nor errors generated,
       the extracted pod should generate the same documentation when formatted by a Pod formatter as the
       original file does.

       By default, warnings are output to STDERR
