Some comments I'd request very much:

You can download the module from here

From the POD

NAME

Pod::Remove - Remove POD from code

SYNOPSIS

  use Pod::Remove qw(remove_pod);


  # $code is a string containing Perl-code with POD
  my $podless=remove_pod($code);

  # or, without importing:
  use Pod::Remove;

  my $podless=Pod::Remove::remove_pod($code);

DESCRIPTION

Pod::Remove removes POD from Perl Code. It accomplishes this by scanning each line of input and removing everything between /^=/ and /^=cut/. Everything after __END__ and __DATA__ is also removed.

Rather simple, but effective.

There is another module doing something similar, Pod::Stripper. Pod::Stripper is based on Pod::Parser, which works mainly on input- and output-streams, i.e. files or filehandles. Which makes it really hard to capture the result in a string. Which is the reason I wrote Pod::Remove.

I might implement some functions to make handling of various types of input easier. But not now.
