Pod::Tree::PerlLib(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Pod::Tree::PerlLib(3)

Pod::Tree::PerlLib - translate module PODs to HTML

  $perl_map = Pod::Tree::PerlMap->new;
  $perl_lib = Pod::Tree::PerlLib->new( $perl_dir, $HTML_dir, $perl_map, %opts );

  $perl_lib->scan(@INC);
  $perl_lib->index;
  $perl_lib->translate;

  $top = $perl_lib->get_top_entry;

"Pod::Tree::PerlLib" translates module PODs to HTML. It does a recursive subdirectory search through a list of directories (typically @INC) to find PODs.

"Pod::Tree::PerlLib" generates a top-level index of all the PODs that it finds, and writes it to HTML_dir"/lib.html".

"Pod::Tree::PerlLib" generates and uses an index of the PODs that it finds to construct HTML links. Other modules can also use this index.

$perl_lib = "new" "Pod::Tree::PerlLib" $perl_dir, $HTML_dir, $perl_map, %options
Creates and returns a new "Pod::Tree::PerlLib" object.

$HTML_dir is the directory where HTML files will be written.

$perl_map maps module names to URLs.

%options are passed through to "Pod::Tree::HTML".

The $perl_dir argument is included for consistency with the other "Pod::Tree::Perl*" modules, but is currently unused.

$perl_lib->"scan"(@INC)
Does a recursive subdirectory search through @INC to locate module PODs. Each module that is identified is entered into $perl_map.
$perl_lib->"index"
Generates a top-level index of all the modules. The index is written to HTML_dir"/lib.html".
$perl_lib->"translate"
Translates each module POD found by "scan" to HTML. The HTML pages are written to HTML_dir"/lib/", in a subdirectory hierarchy that maps the module names.
$perl_lib->"get_top_entry"
Returns a hash reference of the form

  { URL         => $URL,
    description => $description }
    

"Pod::Tree::PerlTop" uses this to build a top-level index of all the Perl PODs.

"Pod::Tree::PerlLib" expects the second paragraph of the POD to have the form

    Foo::Bar - description

and enters Foo::Bar into $perl_map. To link to a module POD, write

    L<Foo::Bar>

    5.005;
    HTML::Stream;
    Pod::Tree;
    Pod::Tree::HTML;
    Pod::Tree::PerlUtil;

Nothing.
