20 This class returns a copy of its input, translated into Perl's internal
21 encoding (UTF-8), and with all the non-Pod lines removed.
22
23 This is a subclass of Pod::Simple::Methody and inherits all its
24 methods. And since, that in turn is a subclass of Pod::Simple, you can
25 use any of its methods. This means you can output to a string instead
26 of a file, or you can parse from an array.
27
28 This class strives to return the Pod lines of the input completely
29 unchanged, except for any necessary translation into Perl's internal
30 encoding, and it makes no effort to return trailing spaces on lines;
31 these likely will be stripped. If the input pod is well-formed with no
32 warnings nor errors generated, the extracted pod should generate the
33 same documentation when formatted by a Pod formatter as the original
34 file does.
35
36 By default, warnings are output to STDERR
