pod::text::termcap(3)

NAME

Pod::Text::Termcap - Convert POD data to ASCII text with
format escapes

SYNOPSIS

use Pod::Text::Termcap;
my $parser = Pod::Text::Termcap->new (sentence  =>  0,
width => 78);
# Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT.
$parser->parse_from_filehandle;
# Read POD from file.pod and write to file.txt.
$parser->parse_from_file ('file.pod', 'file.txt');

DESCRIPTION

Pod::Text::Termcap is a simple subclass of Pod::Text that
highlights output text using the correct termcap escape
sequences for the current terminal. Apart from the format
codes, it in all ways functions like Pod::Text. See
Pod::Text for details and available options.

NOTES

This module uses Term::Cap to retrieve the formatting
escape sequences for the current terminal, and falls back
on the ECMA-48 (the same in this regard as ANSI X3.64 and
ISO 6429, the escape codes also used by DEC VT100 termi
nals) if the bold, underline, and reset codes aren't set
in the termcap information.

tribution as of 5.6.0.
