POD question

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Monks, I am using pod2man to generate some man pages for some perl modules
I use. I don't know how to display strings as underlined.
I have tried variuos things in my pod input like ...

blah blha U<Underline this test> blha blah make B<this text bold>

But no joy. Can any monk help?

Thanks

I don't think pod has a sequence for underlining text. At least I can't find it in the good Camel book. CountZero "If you have four groups working on a compiler, you'll get a 4-pass compiler." - Conway's Law	[reply]

`the good Camel book` [download] OK now you're scaring me. If there's a good Camel Book, that implies the existence of the EVIL Camel Book! How do I know which one I've got? -- “Every bit of code is either naturally related to the problem at hand, or else it's an accidental side effect of the fact that you happened to solve the problem using a digital computer.” M-J D	[reply] [d/l]
