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

If I create a file in POD format, how can it be opened using IE ?
I mean HTML file is created with HTML tags and thats why IE is able to read it. But POD file does not have HTML tags in it, so how will IE understand thi file ?
I tried to open POD file with IE, it just blinked and did not show any content.

perldoc and perlmod are the two command line tools. Which are the other command line tools available to be used with Perl ? How can I find the list ?

Thanks

    use pod2html, as POD is not a file format web browsers understand. you can open/read/write POD in a text editor, as it's just text with some section markers.
    the hardest line to type correctly is: stty erase ^H

      I figured it out.
