podindex

PODINDEX(1p)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					      PODINDEX(1p)

NAME

       podindex - build index from pods

SYNOPSYS

       podindex [options] <pod(s)>...

       Reads pod(s) and prints an index to stdout. Options:

	   --package=PACKAGE   precede the index by a perl package declaration
	   --help	       this help
	   --version	       print version number

DESCRIPTION

       This is a simple wrapper script around Pod::Index::Builder. It parses the POD files given as arguments, finds all X<> entries, generates an
       index and prints it to standard output.

OPTIONS

       package
	   If given, it will place the index in the __DATA__ section of a perl package.  For example,

	       podindex --package=perlindex perlop.pod

	   outputs something like this:

		   package perlindex;
		   1;
		   __DATA__
		   !	   perlsyn 116	   DESCRIPTION
		   !	   perlop  207	   Symbolic Unary Operators
		   !=	   perlop  436	   Equality Operators
		   !~	   perlop  242	   DESCRIPTION

	   This is used so that an index can be placed in @INC and found easily (See Pod::Index::Search).
