Gimp::Pod - Evaluate pod documentation embedded in scripts.

  use Gimp::Pod;

  $pod = new Gimp::Pod;
  $text = $pod->format ();
  $html = $pod->format ('html');
  $synopsis = $pod->section ('SYNOPSIS');
  $author = $pod->author;
  @sections = $pod->sections;

Gimp::Pod can be used to find and parse embedded pod documentation in gimp-perl scripts. At the moment only the formatted text can be fetched, future versions might have more interesting features.

new

format([$format])

Returns the embedded pod documentation in the given format, or undef if no documentation can be found. Format can be one of 'text', 'html', 'man' or 'latex'. If none is specified, 'text' is assumed.

section($header)

author

description

copyright

sections
