Pod::Text::Termcap - Convert POD data to ASCII text with format escapes
use Pod::Text::Termcap;
my $parser = Pod::Text::Termcap->new (sentence => 0, width => 78);
# Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT.
$parser->parse_from_filehandle;
# Read POD from file.pod and write to file.txt.
$parser->parse_from_file ('file.pod', 'file.txt');
Pod::Text::Termcap is a simple subclass of Pod::Text that highlights output
text using the correct termcap escape sequences for the current terminal.
Apart from the format codes, it in all ways functions like Pod::Text. See
the Pod::Text manpage for details and available options.
This module sets the TERMPATH environment variable globally to:
$HOME/.termcap:/etc/termcap:/usr/share/misc/termcap:/usr/share/lib/termcap
if it isn't already set. (The first entry is omitted if the HOME
environment variable isn't set.) This is a (very old) workaround for
problems finding termcap information on older versions of Solaris, and is
not good module behavior. Please do not rely on this behavior; it may be
dropped in a future release.
This module uses Term::Cap to retrieve the formatting escape sequences for
the current terminal, and falls back on the ECMA-48 (the same in this
regard as ANSI X3.64 and ISO 6429, the escape codes also used by DEC VT100
terminals) if the bold, underline, and reset codes aren't set in the
termcap information.
