Tk::Pod

This is a graphical user interface for viewing and browsing perl's Pod documentation.

To install, type

cpan .

if you have a modern CPAN.pm, otherwise

        perl Makefile.PL        (resolve all dependencies)
        make
        make test
        make demo               (optional)
        make install

Windows users should replace "make" with "nmake" if using ActivePerl or "dmake" if using Vanilla or Strawberry Perl.

At least perl 5.005 and Tk 800.004 are required.

Features include:

• A standalone Tk pod viewer: tkpod
• Interface to perlindex full text Pod search (you need to install the perlindex distribution aka Text::English from CPAN and create an index using "perlindex -index").
• Supports single or multiple Pod windows.
• more/less-like Tk::More widget with '/', 'n', 'N', 'j', 'k' bindings
• Tree view of available Pods
• links to URLs and man pages are also handled
• printing using postscript, RTF or text output

If Tk::ToolBar is installed, then tkpod may use the Tk::ToolBar icons for the menus. This works both in Tk804 with native compounds and in Tk800 using Tk::Compound.

The original Tk::Pod module was written by Nick Ing-Simmons <nik@tiuk.ti.com>. Former maintainer was Achim Bohnet. Current maintainer is Slaven Rezic <srezic@cpan.org>. Pod::Simple support is by Sean Burke. Please send bug reports, patches and comments to the current maintainer.
