ImageAbout Manpower
A Mac OS X graphical user interface to the main system of Unix software documentation, the man page. Man pages are concise but thorough descriptions of the functionality and methods of the various Unix command-line programs; there may be hundreds of such programs installed on a Unix or Linux system. Man pages are typically accessed in the Unix terminal by typing the phrase “man program,” with “program” being the specific name of the Unix tool you are trying to learn more about.

While accessing the man page system in this manner is efficient, it has limitations. It is difficult to read documentation in the Unix console; the type is usually very small, and can only be read one screen at a time, making scrolling and skimming through the material a tedious process. Manpower provides a simple, elegant three-pane interface that makes reading man pages as easy as reading e-mail. Manpower compared to Terminal and other man page viewers.

pod::perldoc::toman

Pod::Perldoc::ToMan(3pm)				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				  Pod::Perldoc::ToMan(3pm)

NAME

       Pod::Perldoc::ToMan - let Perldoc render Pod as man pages

SYNOPSIS

	 perldoc -o man Some::Modulename

DESCRIPTION

       This is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to use Pod::Man and "nroff" for reading Pod pages.

       The following options are supported:  center, date, fixed, fixedbold, fixeditalic, fixedbolditalic, quotes, release, section

       (Those options are explained in Pod::Man.)

       For example:

	 perldoc -o man -w center:Pod Some::Modulename

CAVEAT

       This module may change to use a different pod-to-nroff formatter class in the future, and this may change what options are supported.
