114=head1 NAME
115
116Pod::Perldoc::ToMan - let Perldoc render Pod as man pages
117
118=head1 SYNOPSIS
119
120 perldoc -o man Some::Modulename
121
122=head1 DESCRIPTION
123
124This is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to use
125Pod::Man and C<nroff> for reading Pod pages.
126
127The following options are supported: center, date, fixed, fixedbold,
128fixeditalic, fixedbolditalic, quotes, release, section
129
130(Those options are explained in L<Pod::Man>.)
131
132For example:
133
134 perldoc -o man -w center:Pod Some::Modulename
135
136=head1 CAVEAT
137
138This module may change to use a different pod-to-nroff formatter class
139in the future, and this may change what options are supported.
