SYNOPSIS
pod2readme -f markdown lib/MyApp.pm
DESCRIPTION
This utility will use Pod::Readme to extract a README file from a POD document.It works by extracting and filtering the POD, and then calling the appropriate filter program to convert the POD to another format.
OPTIONS
--backup
By default, "pod2readme" will back up the output file. To disable this, use the "--no-backup" option.--output
Specifies the name of the output file. If omitted, it will use the second command line argument, or default to the "--target" plus the corresponding extension of the "--format".For all intents, the default is README.
If a format other than ``text'' is chosen, then the appropriate extension will be added, e.g. for ``markdown'', the default output file is README.md.
--target
The target of the filter, which defaults to ``readme''.--format
The output format, which defaults to ``text''.Other supposed formats are ``html'', ``latex'', ``man'', ``markdown'', ``pod'', ``rtf'', and ``xhtml''.
--stdout
If enabled, it will output to the console instead of "--output".--force
By default, the README will be generated if the source files have been changed. Using "--force" will force the file to be updated.Note: POD format files will always be updated.
