## FUNCTIONS

### pod2pandoc( \\@input, \[ \\%options, \] \\@arguments )

Processed input files with given pod2pandoc options (`"data-sections"`, `"podurl"`, `"ext"`, `"wiki"`, `"meta"`, `"update"`, and `"quiet"`) .  Additional arguments are passed to `"pandoc"` executable via module Pandoc.

Input can be either files and/or module names or directories to recursively search for `".pm"` and `".pod"` files. If no input is specified, Pod is read from STDIN. When processing directories, the last input directory is used as output directory.

This function is exported by default.

### parse\_arguments( @argv )

Parses options and input arguments from given command line arguments. May terminate the program with message, for instance with argument `"--help"`.

## SEE ALSO

This module is part of Pod::Pandoc and based on the modules Pod::Simple::Pandoc, Pod::Pandoc::Modules, Pandoc::Element and Pandoc.
