I'm writing because I wonder what other use-cases there are for this module besides extracting pod from a file that also contains other things.  I can't think of any.  And if there are no significant ones, I wonder if the name should instead be Pod::Simple::ExtractPod, instead of Pod::Simple::Pod?

From what I recall, that was also my use case (IIRC, I was trying to automate producing a GitHub Pages-hosted version of the POD during a Dzil release process). 

My only comment on ‘ExtractPod’ as a name would be that all the other modules in the Pod::Simple dist that do similar things are simply named ‘Pod::Simple::$FORMAT’, (e.g., Pod::Simple::HTML, Pod::Simple::RTF, etc.)

At the end of the day, you’ve done the work to get it out the door and as far as I’m concerned, you can call it whatever you like. 8^)

(Karl, sorry for the mostly duplicated response to your earlier message to me.)
