NAME

6       Pod::Stripper - strip all pod, and output what's left
7

SYNOPSIS

9           $>perl Stripper.pm
10
11       or
12
13           #!/usr/bin/perl -w
14
15           use strict;
16           use Pod::Stripper;
17
18           my $Stripper = new Pod::Stripper();
19
20           $Stripper->parse_from_filehandle(\*STDIN) unless (@ARGV);
21
22           for my $ARGV (@ARGV) {
23               $Stripper->parse_from_file($ARGV);
24           }
25

DESCRIPTION

27       This be "Pod::Stripper", a subclass of "Pod::Parser".  It parses perl
28       files, stripping out the pod, and dumping the rest (presumably code) to
29       wherever you point it to (like you do with "Pod::Parser").
30
31       You could probably subclass it, but I don't see why.
32
33   MOTIVATION
34       I basically re-wrote "Pod::Stripper" on two separate occasions, and I
35       know at least 2 other people who'd use it, and thought It'd make a nice
36       addition.
37
38       "perl -MPod::Stripper -e"Pod::Stripper->new()->parse_from_file(shift)""
39       "  Stripper.pm"
40
41   EXPORTS
42       None.  This one be object oriented (at least I'm under the impression
43       that it is).
44
45   SEE ALSO
46       "Pod::Parser" and Pod::Parser, esp. the "input_*" and "output_*"
47       methods
48

CAVEAT

50       This module will correctly strip out get rid of hidden pod, and
51       preserve hiddencode, but like all pod parsers except "perl", it will be
52       fooled by pod in heredocs (or things like that).
53
54       see perlpod and read Stripper.pm for more information.

The Following is more interesting if you read Stripper.pm raw

TEST CASE FOLLOWS - NOT POD NOR CODE
74       ==head2 HEY THIS POD TOO (REALLy, == is valid, although some parsers
75       might disagree)
76
77       podchecker will not complain
78
79   ABTEST print "THIS IS HIDDEN POD";
80   CUT
81       had to make sure
82
83   I AM INSIDE A HEREDOC
84       WHERE ARE YOU?
85
86   I AM HIDDEN POD INSIDE A HEREDOC warn "really, I am"
87   BOO
88       but hey, if the pod inside a heredoc gets eaten by a pod parser (as it
89       shoulD) I see no problem here
90
91   WELL IF THIS WASN'T AFTER "__END__" "this would still be hidden pod";
92   THIS REALLY IS AN UGLY HACK
93       yes, it is
