Re: Perl Module Stripping made me think to post this .. yeah, i realize there's
Pod::Stripper -- i must have done a lazy cpan search when i needed to write this and missed it; if nothing else it's a nice quick little
Pod::Parser example, and really is basically (though written independently) exactly what Pod::Stripper does (Pod::Stripper inherits from Pod::Parser). I have this installed on my dev server as
/usr/local/bin/unpod
unpod foo.pm
cat foo.pm | unpod
#!/usr/bin/perl
# filter takes a filename as arg (otherwise stdin) and sends pod-strip
+ped content to stdout.
use Pod::Parser;
package MyParser;
use base Pod::Parser;
sub initialize {
my $self = shift;
$self->parseopts(-want_nonPODs=>1);
}
sub preprocess_paragraph {
my ($self, $text, $line_num) = @_;
print $text if $self->cutting;
return $text;
}
package main;
my $parser = new MyParser();
$parser->parse_from_file($ARGV[0], '/dev/null');
