# Pod::Perldoc::ToPod(3p)

let Perldoc render Pod as ... Pod!

## NAME

Pod::Perldoc::ToPod - let Perldoc render Pod as ... Pod!

## SYNOPSIS

```
  perldoc -opod Some::Modulename
```

(That's currently the same as the following:)

```
  perldoc -u Some::Modulename
```

## DESCRIPTION

This is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to display Pod source as itself!  Pretty Zen, huh?

Currently this class works by just filtering out the non-Pod stuff from a given input file.

## SEE ALSO
