Hello,

I thought I wasn?t this new to perl but ?;

How does one use pod::simple::text to print out a section of POD, say the DESCRIPTION section?

Thanks

Pod::Simple::Text (note the casing) is, as far as I can tell from the documentation, part of the "plumbing" of formatting POD as text and is probably not intended for the purpose you specified.  That is, it's not intended for end-user use.

I don't off-hand know how to print out just one section of POD as text.  But in general, you're starting point would be something like:

pod2text lib/List/Compare.pm > Compare.txt

Note: the pod-people mailing list is a very low volume mailing list for people concerned with the innards of Perl's POD mechanisms.  You'll probably get more responses in a location like perlmonks.org.

Thank you very much.
