Pod::LaTeX - convert Pod to latex using Pod::Parser

This is version 0.59 of Pod::LaTeX. This module can be used to convert pod data to latex. It uses the standard Pod::Parser module. A pod2latex replacement command is provided. This can be installed over the pod2latex command distributed with perl.

Please let me know of any problems.

INSTALLATION

% perl Build.PL
% ./Build
% ./Build test
% ./Build install

Currently the tests are not very good (only a simple test is provided).

REQUIREMENTS

Requires perl 5.005 or newer.

Written completely in Perl. XS is not required.

Requires the PodParser package from CPAN. This is standard with perl 5.6.0. This module is part of the standard perl distribution and has been since perl 5.6.1.

• Fix problem with [] in items (R. de Vries)

V0.57

• Missing README file for V0.56 now added. No changes to code.

• Many new Pod escapes supported (Peter J Acklam)
• The module now installs into the PERL dirs and not the site install if the perl version is greater than 5.6.0 (since this module is part of core perl as of v5.6.1).

KNOWN BUGS
