SYNOPSIS

CLASS HIERARCHY

DESCRIPTION

16       This is a POD parser used by "App::PodLinkCheck" to find section names
17       in a document.  Its behaviour is specific to PodLinkCheck but might
18       have other use.

FUNCTIONS

21       "$parser = App::PodLinkCheck::ParseSections->new($options_hashref)"
22           Create and return a new parser object.
23
24           The default is to disable "Pod::Simple" whining about dubious pod,
25           because "App::PodLinkCheck" is just meant to check links.
26           $options_hashref can have "verbose" to give full messages from
27           "Pod::Simple".
28
29               $parser = App::PodLinkCheck::ParseSections->new({ verbose => 1 });
30
31           It also works to set "$parser->no_whining()" as desired at any
32           time.
33
34       "$parser->parse_file($filename)"
35           Parse the pod from $filename.  All the various "Pod::Simple" parse
36           input styles can be used too.
37
38       "$hashref = $parser->sections_hashref()"
39           Return a hashref of the names of POD sections seen by $parser.  The
40           keys are the section names.  The values are true (presently just
41           1).
42
43           Sections names are mildly normalized by collapsing whitespace to a
44           single space each and removing leading and trailing whitespace.
45           Believe that's mostly how the pod formatters end up treating
46           section names for linking purposes.  (That sort of treatment being
47           the intention here.)
48
49           The first word (of non-whitespace) of a section name is added as a
50           hash entry too.  This is in the style of "Pod::Checker" and is how
51           the formatters help links to function names in for example
52           perlfunc.
53
54           The section names accumulate everything seen by $parser.  No
55           attention is paid to any "Document" start etc.  Usually a new
56           "App::PodLinkCheck::ParseSections" is used for each file (unless
57           some union of section names is in fact wanted).
