NAME

Pod::Perldoc::ToMan - let Perldoc render Pod as man pages

SYNOPSIS

perldoc -o man Some::Modulename

DESCRIPTION

This is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to use Pod::Man and groff for reading Pod pages.

The following options are supported: center, date, fixed, fixedbold, fixeditalic, fixedbolditalic, quotes, release, section

(Those options are explained in Pod::Man.)

For example:

perldoc -o man -w center:Pod Some::Modulename

CAVEAT

This module may change to use a different pod-to-nroff formatter class in the future, and this may change what options are supported.
