Re^4: magic-diamond <> behavior -- WHAT?!

Your 'ack' is wrong on two accounts. First of all, pod2html doesn't do anything more than using a module, and calling a single sub in that. The work is done in ..../lib/5.10.1/Pod/Html.pm.

But even then, searching for <ARGV> or <>won't reveal much. But this is relevant:

    local(@ARGV) = @_;
    ...
    local *POD;
    unless (@ARGV && $ARGV[0]) {
        $Podfile  = "-" unless $Podfile;        # stdin
        open(POD, "<$Podfile")
                || die "$0: cannot open $Podfile file for input: $!\n"
+;
    } else {
        $Podfile = $ARGV[0];  # XXX: might be more filenames
        *POD = *ARGV;
    }
    ...
    my @poddata  = <POD>;

Huh, my ack is wrong? First of all, pod2html doesn't do anything more than using a module That is what it does now, it wasn't always a module. But even then, searching for <ARGV> or <>won't reveal much. But this is relevant It shows magic isn't used.	[reply]

It shows magic isn't used. So what is `<POD>` do if not magic? `mkdir /tmp/aaa cd /tmp/aaa touch a.pod b.pod 'rm * \|' pod2html * ls` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
