NAME

       Pod::Tree::PerlFunc - translate perlfunc.pod to HTML

SYNOPSIS

	 $perl_map  = new Pod::Tree::PerlMap;
	 $perl_func = new Pod::Tree::PerlFunc $perl_dir, $HTML_dir, $perl_map, %opts;

	 $perl_func->scan;
	 $perl_func->index;
	 $perl_func->translate;

DESCRIPTION

       "Pod::Tree::PerlFunc" translates perlfunc.pod to HTML.  It creates a separate HTML page for each function description in perlfunc.pod. The
       pages for the individual descriptions are named after the function and written to a func/ subdirectory.	perlfunc.html is generated as an
       index to all the pages in func/.

       "Pod::Tree::PerlFunc" generates and uses an index of the functions that it finds in perlfunc.pod to construct HTML links.  Other modules
       can also use this index.

METHODS

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

	   $perl_dir is the root of the Perl source tree.

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

	   $perl_map maps function names to URLs.

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

       $perl_func->"scan"
	   Reads perlfunc.pod and identifies all the functions in it.  Each function that is identified is entered into $perl_map.

       $perl_func->"index"
	   Generates a top-level index of all the functions.  The index is written to HTML_dir"/pod/perlfunc.html".

       $perl_func->"translate"
	   Translates each function found by "scan" to HTML.  The HTML pages are written to HTML_dir"/pod/func/".

LINKING

       "Pod::Tree::PerlFunc" indexes every "=item" paragraph in perlfunc.html. To link, for example, to the "abs" function, write

	   L<func/abs>
