Convert pod to text, html, etc., with pod::pom

pom2 pod MyFile.pm > Myfile.pod

pom2 format [options] MyFile.pm > Myfile.xyz

Overview

This script uses "Pod::POM" to convert a Pod document into text, HTML, back into Pod (e.g. to normalise a document to fix any markup errors), or any other format for which you have a view module.

If the viewer is not one of the viewers bundled with "Pod::POM", the script searches for an installed "Pod::POM::View" module that matches the specified format. For example if you have "Pod::POM::View::DocBook" installed then you could say:

    pod2 docbook MyFile.pm > MyFile.xml

If any options other than "--help" are specified then they are passed to the constructor method of the view class. For example:

    pod2 docbook --root=chapter --titlecasing MyFile.pm > MyFile.xml

would convert the Pod document to a DocBook chapter document with the titlecasing option enabled. Note that any string prefixed by ""--"" is taken as a valid option and passed to the constructor; if no value is specified then a value of 1 is passed in.
