# Locale::Po4a::Chooser(3pm)

manage po4a modules

## NAME

Locale::Po4a::Chooser - manage po4a modules

## DESCRIPTION

Locale::Po4a::Chooser is a module to manage po4a modules. Previously, all po4a binaries used to know all po4a modules (pod, man, sgml, etc). This made the addition of a new module boring, because you had to make sure that the documentation is synchronized in all modules, and that each of them can access the new module.

Now, you just have to call the **Locale::Po4a::Chooser::new()** function, passing the name of module as argument.

The function **Locale::Po4a::Chooser::list()** lists the available formats, and exits with the value passed as argument. So, we call **Locale::Po4a::Chooser::list**(0) when requested for the list of formats, and **Locale::Po4a::Chooser::list**(1) when passed an invalid format name.
