Pod::Perldoc::ToTerm(3p) | Perl Programmers Reference Guide | Pod::Perldoc::ToTerm(3p)

# NAME

Pod::Perldoc::ToTerm - render Pod with terminal escapes

# SYNOPSIS

      perldoc -o term Some::Modulename

# DESCRIPTION

This is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to use Pod::Text as a formatter class.

It supports the following options, which are explained in Pod::Text: alt, indent, loose, quotes, sentence, width

For example:

      perldoc -o term -w indent:5 Some::Modulename

# PAGER FORMATTING

Depending on the platform, and because this class emits terminal escapes it will attempt to set the "-R" flag on your pager by injecting the flag into your environment variable for "less" or "more".

On Windows and DOS, this class will not modify any environment variables.

# CAVEAT

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