NAME

       Pod::Tree::Pod - Convert a Pod::Tree back to a POD

SYNOPSIS

         use Pod::Tree::Pod;

         $tree =  new Pod::Tree;

         $dest =  new IO::File;
         $dest = "file.pod";

         $pod  =  new Pod::Tree::Pod $tree, $dest;

         $pod->translate;

DESCRIPTION

       "Pod::Tree::Pod" converts a Pod::Tree back to a POD.  The destination is fixed when the
       object is created.  The "translate" method does the actual translation.

       For convenience, Pod::Tree::Pod can write the POD to a variety of destinations.  The "new"
       method resolves the $dest argument.

   Destination resolution
       "Pod::Tree::Pod" can write HTML to either of 2 destinations.  "new" resolves $dest by
       checking these things, in order:

       1.  If $dest is a reference, then it is taken to be an "IO::File" object that is already
           open on the file where the POD will be written.

       2.  If $dest is not a reference, then it is taken to be the name of the file where the POD
           will be written.

METHODS

       $pod = "new" "Pod::Tree::Pod" $tree, $dest
           Creates a new "Pod::Tree::Pod" object.

           $tree is a "Pod::Tree" object that represents a POD.  $pod writes the POD to $dest.
           See "Destination resolution" for details.

       $pod->"translate"
           Writes the text of the POD.  This method should only be called once.

DIAGNOSTICS

       "Pod::Tree::Pod::new: not enough arguments"
           (F) "new" called with fewer than 2 arguments.

       "Pod::Tree::HTML::new: Can't open $dest: $!"
           (F) The destination file couldn't be opened.

NOTES

       •   The destination doesn't actually have to be an "IO::File" object.  It may be any
           object that has a "print" method.
