37 Pod::Plainer - Perl extension for converting Pod to old style Pod.
43 my $parser = Pod::Plainer -> new ();
44 $parser -> parse_from_filehandle(\*STDIN);
48 Pod::Plainer uses Pod::Parser which takes Pod with the (new)
49 'CE<lt>E<lt> .. E<gt>E<gt>' constructs
50 and returns the old(er) style with just 'CE<lt>E<gt>';
51 '<' and '>' are replaced by 'EE<lt>ltE<gt>' and 'EE<lt>gtE<gt>'.
53 This can be used to pre-process Pod before using tools which do not
54 recognise the new style Pods.
