Message-ID: <20011128215131.A74107@moo.holy.cow> Mail-Followup-To: f-q Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG hi, does anybody know how to use Pod::Text module, and pod2text() function, w/ perl 5.005_03? its pod is not as helpful as that of Getopt::Long. i must mention that i had installed perl 5.6.1 from ports and last world was built w/o system perl. i can use Pod::Usage module and pod2usage() function, as stated, just fine w/ perl 5.6.1. it's just that i want to create a port out of a perl program and quite confident that not everybody has perl 5.6.1 installed or would want to install just to use this program. i could use system() call to pod2text() or pod2man() but would prefer to use the module if possible. Pod/Text.pm appears in /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503 and it's in @INC. below are the content of @INC for perl 5.005_03... /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 any suggestions welcome. thanks. - parv -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
