NAME
    App::PODUtils - Command-line utilities related to POD

VERSION
    This document describes version 0.050 of App::PODUtils (from Perl
    distribution App-PODUtils), released on 2021-07-20.

SYNOPSIS
    This distribution provides the following command-line utilities related
    to Perl POD:

    *   dump-pod-structure

    *   elide-pod

    *   extract-links-in-pod

    *   poddump

    *   podless

    *   podstrip

    *   podxlinks

    *   reverse-pod-headings

    *   sort-pod-headings

FUNCTIONS
  dump_pod_structure
    Usage:

     dump_pod_structure(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

    Dump POD structure using Pod::Elemental.

    This is actually just a shortcut for:

     % podsel FILENAME --root --dump --transform Pod5 --transform Nester

    This function is not exported.

    Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

    *   pod => *perl::pod_filename* (default: "-")

        Path to a .POD file, or a POD name (e.g. Foo::Bar) which will be
        searched in @INC.

        "-" means standard input.

    Returns an enveloped result (an array).

    First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status
    code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second
    element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something
    like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual
    result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error
    response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is
    called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra
    information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional
    metadata.

    Return value: (any)

  extract_links_in_pod
    Usage:

     extract_links_in_pod(%args) -> any

    Extract links in POD.

    This function is not exported.

    Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

    *   detail => *bool*

    *   pod => *perl::pod_filename* (default: "-")

        Path to a .POD file, or a POD name (e.g. Foo::Bar) which will be
        searched in @INC.

        "-" means standard input.

    Return value: (any)

  reverse_pod_headings
    Usage:

     reverse_pod_headings(%args) -> any

    Reverse POD headings.

    This function is not exported.

    Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

    *   command => *str* (default: "head1")

    *   naked_pod => *bool*

        Strip =pod and =cut delimiters.

        Normally, when outputing POD text, the "=pod" header and "=cut"
        footer are included. This option, if enabled, strips the outputting
        of such header/footer.

    *   pod => *perl::pod_filename* (default: "-")

        Path to a .POD file, or a POD name (e.g. Foo::Bar) which will be
        searched in @INC.

        "-" means standard input.

    Return value: (any)

  sort_pod_headings
    Usage:

     sort_pod_headings(%args) -> any

    Sort POD headings in text.

    This utility sorts POD headings in text. By default it sorts =head1
    headings. For example this POD:

     =head1 b
 
     some text for b
 
     =head1 a
 
     text for a
 
     =head2 a2
 
     =head2 a1
 
     =head1 c
 
     text for c

    will be sorted into:

     =head1 a
 
     text for a
 
     =head2 a2
 
     =head2 a1
 
     =head1 b
 
     some text for b
 
     =head1 c
 
     text for c

    Note that the =head2 headings are not sorted. If you want to sort those,
    you can rerun the utility and specify the "--command=head2" option.

    This function is not exported.

    Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

    *   command => *str* (default: "head1")

    *   naked_pod => *bool*

        Strip =pod and =cut delimiters.

        Normally, when outputing POD text, the "=pod" header and "=cut"
        footer are included. This option, if enabled, strips the outputting
        of such header/footer.

    *   pod => *perl::pod_filename* (default: "-")

        Path to a .POD file, or a POD name (e.g. Foo::Bar) which will be
        searched in @INC.

        "-" means standard input.

    *   sort_args => *array[str]*

        Arguments to pass to the Sort::Sub::* routine.

    *   sort_sub => *sortsub::spec*

        Name of a Sort::Sub::* module (without the prefix).

    Return value: (any)
