NAME

Pod::Weaver::Section::Collect::FromOther - Import sections from other POD

VERSION

This document describes 0.002 of Pod::Weaver::Section::Collect::FromOther - released February 28, 2012 as part of Pod-Weaver-Section-Collect-FromOther.

DESCRIPTION

Copy chunks of POD from other documents, and incorporate them. Our purpose here is to enable the easy documentation of packages that serve to combine parts of preexisting packages (and thus preexisting documentation).

METHODS

prepare_input($input)

Check the given $input for any commands that would trigger us, and extract/insert pod as requested.

copy_sections_from_other($module, $header_text, $opts)

Loads the POD from $module (specified as a package name, in our @INC), looks for a =head1 section with $header_text, and copies everything pulls it out until the next =head1 section.

We return the elements we find from the first command until the next section; this is to enable preface text to be skipped. This behaviour can be altered by setting $opts to 'all';

We return a series of elements suitable for inclusion directly into another document. Note that if this set includes a list, that list will be converted, with each =item command becoming a =head2.
