Overview

This program uses Pod::Markdown to convert POD into Markdown sources.

UTF-8 is the default output encoding if no encoding options are specified (see "OPTIONS").

It accepts two optional arguments:

Options

--html-encode-chars

A list of characters to encode as HTML entities. Pass a regexp character class, or 1 to mean control chars, high-bit chars, and "<&>"'".

See "html_encode_chars" in Pod::Markdown for more information.

--match-encoding (-m)

Use the same "=encoding" as the input pod for the output file.

--local-module-url-prefix

Alters the perldoc urls that are created from "L<>" codes when the module is a "local" module ("Local::*" or "Foo_Corp::*" (see perlmodlib)).

The default is to use "perldoc_url_prefix".

See "local_module_url_prefix" in Pod::Markdown for more information.

--man-url-prefix

Alters the man page urls that are created from "L<>" codes.

The default is "http://man.he.net/man".

See "man_url_prefix" in Pod::Markdown for more information.

--perldoc-url-prefix

Alters the perldoc urls that are created from "L<>" codes. Can be:

•

"metacpan" (shortcut for "https://metacpan.org/pod/")

•

"sco" (shortcut for "http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?")

•

any url

The default is "metacpan".

See "perldoc_url_prefix" in Pod::Markdown for more information.

--output-encoding (-e)

Specify the encoding for the output file.

--utf8 (-u)

Alias for "-e UTF-8".
