perl v5.36.0                                       2022-11-19                            Pod::Tree::PerlPod(3pm)

       "Pod::Tree::PerlPod" translates Perl PODs to HTML.  It does a recursive subdirectory search through
       $perl_dir to find PODs.

       "Pod::Tree::PerlPod" generates a top-level index of all the PODs that it finds, and writes it to
       HTML_dir"/pod.html".

       "Pod::Tree::PerlPod" generates and uses an index of the PODs that it finds to construct HTML links.
       Other modules can also use this index.

       Nothing.

       "Pod::Tree::PerlPod" indexes PODs by the base name of the POD file.  To link to perlsub.pod, write

           L<perlsub>

$perl_pod = "new" "Pod::Tree::PerlPod" $perl_dir, $HTML_dir, $perl_map, %options
           Creates and returns a new "Pod::Tree::PerlPod" object.

           $perl_dir is the root of the Perl source tree.

           $HTML_dir is the directory where HTML files will be written.

           $perl_map maps POD names to URLs.

           %options are passed through to "Pod::Tree::HTML".

       $perl_pod->"scan";
           Does  a  recursive  subdirectory search through $perl_dir to locate PODs. Each POD that is located is
           entered into $perl_map.

       $perl_pod->"index"
           Generates a top-level index of all the PODs.  The index is written to HTML_dir"/pod.html".

       $perl_pod->"translate"
           Translates each POD found by "scan"  to  HTML.   The  HTML  pages  are  written  to  HTML_dir,  in  a
           subdirectory hierarchy that mirrors the the Perl source distribution.

       $perl_pod->"get_top_entry"
           Returns a hash reference of the form

             { URL         => $URL,
               description => $description }

           "Pod::Tree::PerlTop" uses this to build a top-level index of all the Perl PODs.
