  NAME

  

  Pod::Index::Entry - Represents Pod search result

  SYNOPSIS

  

      use Pod::Index::Entry;
  
      my $entry =  Pod::Index::Entry->new(
          keyword  => 'constructors',
          podname  => 'perlobj',
          line     => 42,
          filename => '/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/pod/perlobj.pod',
          context  => 'Using POD',
      );
  
      # trivial accessors
      my $podname  = $entry->podname;
      my $filename = $entry->filename;
      my $line     = $entry->line;
      my $context  = $entry->context;
      my $keyword  = $entry->keyword;
  
      # extract the POD for this entry
      my $pod      = $entry->pod;
  
  

  DESCRIPTION

  

  This class represents a POD index entry. An entry is defined by the podname/filename, line number, and context. The entry object also has the ability to extract the POD "scope" from the filename.

  METHODS

  

  new

      my $q = Pod::Index::Entry->new(%args);
  
  

  Create a new search object. Possible arguments are:

  podname

  The name of the pod, such as Data::Dumper.

  filename

  The filename for the pod, such as Data/Dumper.pm.

  line

  The line number where the scope of this entry begins.

  context

  The title of the section that contains this entry.

  podname

  filename

  line

  context

  These are just simple accessors that return the value of these properties, as given to the constructor.

  pod

  Extracts the POD for the scope of the entry from $self->filename, beginning at $self->line. For a definition of scope, see Pod::Index. The POD extraction is delegated to the Pod::Index::Extract module.
