Pod::P...ToTerm(3perl) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Pod::P...ToTerm(3perl)
NAME
Pod::Perldoc::ToTerm - render Pod with terminal escapes
SYNOPSIS
perldoc -o term Some::Modulename
DESCRIPTION
This is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to use Pod::Text as a
formatter class.
It supports the following options, which are explained in Pod::Text:
alt, indent, loose, quotes, sentence, width
For example:
perldoc -o term -w indent:5 Some::Modulename
PAGER FORMATTING
Depending on the platform, and because this class emits terminal escapes
it will attempt to set the "-R" flag on your pager by injecting the flag
into your environment variable for "less" or "more".
On Windows and DOS, this class will not modify any environment
variables.
CAVEAT
This module may change to use a different text formatter class in the
future, and this may change what options are supported.
