=head1 NAME

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

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  perldoc -o man Some::Modulename

=head1 DESCRIPTION

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

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

(Those options are explained in L<Pod::Man>.)

For example:

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

=head1 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.
