in reply to Preferred method of documentation?

I have been seeing a general trend toward using pdf docs in all sorts of software. It's easily printed. Pod isn't easily printed, and only Perl programmers seem to know about it.

    Pod can be easily converted to troff, html, plain text, or latex. Any of those can be printed, and are well-known formats.
