Version 0.01

Convert POD data to ASCII text with format escapes

  ( my $pod_text = <<'__POD__' ) =~ s/^[ \t]+//mg;
    =head1 Some pod

    F<foo> bla bla B<bar>
    Some more text

    =cut
  __POD__

  #
  use Pod::Simple::Text::Termcap;
  my $parser = Pod::Simple::Text::Termcap->new;
  $parser->parse_string_document( $pod_text);
  $parser->output_string( \my $out );
  print($out);




  # use it as a filter
  use Pod::Simple::Text::Termcap;
  Pod::Simple::Text::Termcap->filter( \$pod_text );

Pod::Simple::Text::Termcap is a subclass of Pod::Simple::Text. This module is just a drop in replacement for Pod::Simple::Text. Pod::Simple::Text::Termcap prints headlines and B<> tags bold. I<> and F<> tags are underlined.

Thats all. Pretty close to what Pod::Text::Termcap do for Pod::Text.

This module uses Term::Cap to retrieve the formatting escape sequences for the current terminal, and falls back on the ECMA-48 (the same in this regard as ANSI X3.64 and ISO 6429, the escape codes also used by DEC VT100 terminals) if the bold, underline, and reset codes aren't set in the termcap information.
