# Pod::Perldoc::ToChecker(3perl)

let Perldoc check Pod for errors

## NAME

Pod::Perldoc::ToChecker - let Perldoc check Pod for errors

## SYNOPSIS

```
  % perldoc -o checker SomeFile.pod
  No Pod errors in SomeFile.pod
  (or an error report)
```

## DESCRIPTION

This is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to use Pod::Simple::Checker as a "formatter" class (or if that is not available, then Pod::Checker), to check for errors in a given Pod file.

This is actually a Pod::Simple::Checker (or Pod::Checker) subclass, and inherits all its options.
