pod_find
The pod_find method scans the current system for available Pod documentation. The keys of the returned
hash reference are the names of the modules or Pods ("::" substituted by "/" --- this makes it easier for
Tk::Pod::Tree, as the separator may only be of one character). The values are the corresponding
filenames.
If "-categorized" is specified, then the returned hash has an extra level with four categories: perl (for
core language documentation), pragma (for pragma documentation like var or strict), mod (core or CPAN
modules), and script (perl scripts with embedded Pod documentation). Otherwise, "-category" may be set to
force the Pods into a category.
By default, @INC is scanned for Pods. This can be overwritten by the "-directories" option (specify as an
array reference).
If "-usecache" is specified, then the list of Pods is cached (see cache directory). "-usecache" is
disabled if "-categorized" is not set or "-directories" is set.
WriteCache
Write the Pod cache. The cache is written to the cache directory. The file name is constructed from the
perl version, operation system and user id.
LoadCache()
Load the Pod cache, if possible.
Cachedirectory
By default the cache file is written to the directory ~/.tkpod_cache (Unix systems), or the data
directory as determined by File::HomeDir (Windows, MacOSX). If everything fails, then the temporary
directory (/tmp or the OS equivalent) is used.
If necessary, then the last path component will be created (that is, .tkpod_cache will be created if the
directory does not exist).
To use another cache directory set the environment variable "TKPODCACHE".
