Pod::Index::Builder.3pm

NAME

Pod::Index::Builder - Build a pod index

SYNOPSIS

     use Pod::Index::Builder;
 
     my $p = Pod::Index::Builder->new(
         pi_base => $base_path,
     );
     for my $file (@ARGV) {
         $p->parse_from_file($file);
     }
 
     $p->print_index;
 
 

DESCRIPTION

This is a subclass of Pod::Parser that reads POD and outputs nothing. However, it saves the position of every X<> entry it sees. The index can be retrieved as a hashref, or printed in a format that is understandable by Pod::Index::Search.

METHODS

new

The constructor, inherited from Pod::Parser. The only optional argument that cares about is "pi_base". If given, it is used as a base when converting pathnames to package names. For example, if "pi_path" = ``lib'', the filename lib/Pod/Index.pm will turn into "Pod::Index", instead of the undesirable "lib::Pod::Index".

pod_index

Retrieves the index as a hashref. The hash keys are the keywords contained in the X<> tags, normalized to lowercase; the values are array references of Pod::Index::Entry objects.

print_index

     $parser->print_index($fh);
     $parser->print_index($filename);
     $parser->print_index();
 
 

Prints the index to the given output filename or filehandle (or STDOUT by default). The format is tab-delimited, with the following columns:

     1) keyword
     2) podname 
     3) line number
     4) context (title of section containing this entry)
 
 

The index is sorted by keyword in a case-insensitive way.
