NAME

tkpod - Perl/Tk POD browser

SYNOPSIS

    tkpod  [-tk]  [directory]|name [...]

DESCRIPTION

tkpod is a simple POD browser with hypertext capabilities. POD (Plain Old Document) is a simple and readable markup language that could be mixed with perl code.

PODs are searched by default in @INC. Directories listed on the command line are added to the default search path.

For each name listed on the command line tkpod tries to to find POD in name, name.pod and name.pm in the search path. For each name a new POD browser window is opened.

OPTIONS
