NAME

Top

Pod::Perldoc::ToNroff - let Perldoc convert Pod to nroff

SYNOPSIS

Top

  perldoc -o nroff -d something.3 Some::Modulename

DESCRIPTION

Top

This is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to use Pod::Man as a formatter class.

The following options are supported: center, date, fixed, fixedbold, fixeditalic, fixedbolditalic, quotes, release, section

Those options are explained in Pod::Man.

For example:

  perldoc -o nroff -w center:Pod -d something.3 Some::Modulename

CAVEAT

Top

This module may change to use a different pod-to-nroff formatter class in the future, and this may change what options are supported.
