basepods - print out pod paths for the standard perl manpages
Contents
Description
This program uses your configuration's "installprivlib" directory to look up the full paths to those pod
pages. Any files in that directory whose names end in ".pod" will be printed to the standard output, one
per line. This is normally used in backticks to produce a list of filenames for other commands.
Examples
$ podgrep typeglob `basepods`
$ basepods | grep delt
/usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/pod/perl5004delta.pod
/usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/pod/perl5005delta.pod
/usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/pod/perldelta.pod
You can also run this using alternate perl binaries, like so:
$ oldperl -S basepods | grep delt
/usr/lib/perl5/pod/perldelta.pod
$ podgrep -i thread `filsperl basepods | grep delt`
