NAME

       Locale::Po4a::Pod - convert POD data from/to PO files

SYNOPSIS

           use Locale::Po4a::Pod;
           my $parser = Locale::Po4a::Pod->new();

           # Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT.
           $parser->parse_from_filehandle;

           # Read POD from file.pod and write to file.txt.
           $parser->parse_from_file ('file.pod', 'file.txt');

DESCRIPTION

       Locale::Po4a::Pod is a module to help the translation of documentation in the POD format (the preferred
       language for documenting Perl) into other [human] languages.

STATUS OF THIS MODULE

       I think that this module is rock stable, and there is only one known bug with
       /usr/lib/perl5/Tk/MainWindow.pod (and some other pages, see below) which contains:

         C<" #n">

       Lack of luck, in the po4a version, this was split on the space by the wrapping. As result, in the
       original version, the man page contains:

        " #n"

       and mine contains:

        "" #n""

       which is logic since C<foobar> is rewritten "foobar".

       Complete list of pages having this problem on my box (from 564 pages; note that it depends on the chosen
       wrapping column):

        /usr/lib/perl5/Tk/MainWindow.pod
        /usr/share/perl/5.8.0/overload.pod
        /usr/share/perl/5.8.0/pod/perlapi.pod
        /usr/share/perl/5.8.0/pod/perldelta.pod
        /usr/share/perl/5.8.0/pod/perlfaq5.pod
        /usr/share/perl/5.8.0/pod/perlpod.pod
        /usr/share/perl/5.8.0/pod/perlre.pod
        /usr/share/perl/5.8.0/pod/perlretut.pod

INTERNALS

       As a derived class from Pod::Parser, Locale::Po4a::Pod supports the same methods and interfaces.  See
       Pod::Parser for all the details; briefly, one creates a new parser with "Locale::Po4a::Pod->new()" and
       then calls either parse_from_filehandle() or parse_from_file().
