NAME

6       Prima::HelpViewer - the built-in pod file browser
7

USAGE

9       The module presents two packages, "Prima::HelpViewer" and
10       "Prima::PodViewWindow". Their sole purpose is to serve as a mediator
11       between "Prima::PodView" package, the toolkit help interface and the
12       user.  "Prima::PodViewWindow" includes all the user functionality,
13       including ( but not limited to :) text search, color and font setup,
14       printing etc.  "Prima::HelpViewer" provides two methods - "open" and
15       "close", used by "Prima::Application" for help viewer invocation.
