Remove POD from Perl code

## NAME

## VERSION

version 1.100

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Pod::Strip;
    my $p=Pod::Strip->new;              # create parser
    my $podless;                        # set output string
    $p->output_string(\$podless);       # see Pod::Simple
    $p->parse_string_document($code);   # or some other parsing method
                                        #    from Pod::Simple
    # $podless will now contain code without any POD
```

## DESCRIPTION

Pod::Strip is a subclass of Pod::Simple that strips all POD from Perl Code.

## METHODS

All methods besides those listed here are inherited from Pod::Simple

### new

Generate a new parser object.

### replace\_with\_comments

Call this method with a true argument to replace POD with comments (looking like "# stripped POD") instead of stripping it.

This has the effect that line numbers get reported correctly in error messages etc.
