       Based on code for Pod::Text::pod2text(1) written by Tom Christiansen <tchrist@mox.perl.com>

perl v5.40.1                                       2025-07-25                                      PODCHECKER(1)

podchecker  will  read  the  given input files looking for POD syntax errors in the POD documentation and
       will print any errors it find to STDERR. At the end, it will print a status message indicating the number
       of errors found.

       Directories are ignored, an appropriate warning message is printed.

       podchecker invokes the podchecker() function  exported  by  Pod::Checker  Please  see  "podchecker()"  in
       Pod::Checker for more details.

podchecker returns the exit status 1 if at least one of the given POD files has syntax errors.

       The status 2 indicates that at least one of the specified files does not contain any POD commands.

       Status  1  overrides  status 2. If you want unambiguous results, call podchecker with one single argument
       only.
