You're asking for a module? Where are all the modules? Did you check CPAN? As it happens, there's a plethora of Pod modules there.

Ones which look (to me) promising for this problem are Pod::Index and Pod::Select.

    perl -e 'use Pod::Select; podselect({-sections =>[$ARGV[1]]},($ARGV[0]))' huh.pl whatThe
