Pod::Load cpan:JMERELO last updated on 2019-04-13

NAME

Pod::Load - Loads and compiles the Pod documentation of an external file

SYNOPSIS

use Pod::Load;

# Read a file handle.
my $pod = load("file-with.pod6".IO);
say $pod.perl; # Process it as a Pod

# Or use simply the file name
my @pod = load("file-with.pod6");
say .perl for @pod;

my $string-with-pod = q:to/EOH/;

This ordinary paragraph introduces a code block:

EOH

say load( $string-with-pod ).perl;

You can also reconfigure the global variables. However, if you change one you'll have to change the whole thing. In the future, I might come up with a better way of doing this...

$Pod::Load::tmp-dir= "/tmp/my-precomp-dir/"; $Pod::Load::precomp-store = CompUnit::PrecompilationStore::File.new(prefix => $Pod::Load::tmp-dir.IO); $Pod::Load::precomp = CompUnit::PrecompilationRepository::Default.new(store => $Pod::Load::precomp-store);

DESCRIPTION

Pod::Load is a module with a simple task: obtain the documentation of an external file in a standard, straighworward way. Its mechanism is inspired by Pod::To::BigPage, from where the code to use the cache is taken from.
