NAME

       Pod::Hyperlink::BounceURL - Allow off-page links in POD to point to a URL

SYNOPSIS

               use Pod::Hyperlink::BounceURL;
               my $linkparser = new Pod::Hyperlink::BounceURL;
               $linkparser->configure( URL => '/cgi-perl/support/bounce.pl?page=%s' );
               my $pod2xhtml = new Pod::Xhtml( LinkParser => $linkparser );

DESCRIPTION

       Some links in your pod may not be resolveable by Pod::Hyperlink, e.g. "L<Some::Module>" -
       this module allows you to detect such links and generate a hyperlink instead of some
       static text.  The target URL will probably be some kind of dynamic webpage or CGI
       application which can then serve up the relevant page or send a redirect to the page,
       hence the "bounce" in this module's name.

       This module overrides the type() method and, for relevant links, will return a string
       which is "bounceurl:" followed by the URL, instead of returning "page" or "item".  Your
       pod-conversion module can then switch on this case and emit the correct kind of markup.
       Pod::Xhtml supports the use of this module.

METHODS

       configure( %OPTIONS )
           Set persistent configuration for this object. See "OPTIONS".

       type()
           Behaves as Pod::Hyperlink's type() method except for the unresolveable links, where
           the string returned is as described in "DESCRIPTION".

OPTIONS

       URL The URL to handle the link, which may be absolute or relative, of any protocol - it's
           just treated as a string and is passed through sprintf(), with two string arguments
           that are both already URL-escaped.

           The first argument is the page name, and will always exist. The second argument is the
           "node" within the page, and may be empty.

           Insert '%s' where you wish the arguments to be interpolated. The string goes through
           sprintf() so you should have '%%' where you want an actual percent sign. If you need
           the arguments in a different order, see the perl-specific features of "sprintf" in
           perlfunc.
