NAME

       basepods - print out pod paths for the standard perl manpages

DESCRIPTION

       This program uses your configuration's "installprivlib" directory to look up the full paths to those pod
       pages.  Any files in that directory whose names end in ".pod" will be printed to the standard output, one
       per line.  This is normally used in backticks to produce a list of filenames for other commands.

EXAMPLES

           $ podgrep typeglob `basepods`

           $ basepods | grep delt
           /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/pod/perl5004delta.pod
           /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/pod/perl5005delta.pod
           /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/pod/perldelta.pod

       You can also run this using alternate perl binaries, like so:

           $ oldperl -S basepods | grep delt
           /usr/lib/perl5/pod/perldelta.pod

           $ podgrep -i thread `filsperl basepods | grep delt`
           ....
