Re^4: Differentiating between local and system modules (rtfm)

If you read its POD, you'll find mention of the -input option to pod2usage(). That's what you want.

That seemed to work, thank you Aristotle. Along these lines, is it possible to have a more "detailed" output for these arguments, given a POD in ./Foo/Config.pm? Basically I'd like to have the ability to do: './myscript --help' and get the full help synopsis, but './myscript --help foo' would give me only the specific details on the option 'foo'. My POD is already quite lengthy, and has quite a lot of options, but paging through them would certainly suck for the end user, since 20k of POD scrolls past them on their screen when they invoke --help on its own.
