Subject: Command line interface doesn't match the other pod2* utilities
pod2markdown requires input on stdin, and provides output on stdout -- but all the other pod2* utilities take a filename as an argument. pod2markdown should do the same. If you want to provide input on stdin, a file of - is the standard way.

Seems reasonable. Sadly it looks like various modules don't really do it the same way, though searching for others wasn't exactly "easy" (most of the scripts themselves aren't indexed). Were there any pod2* scripts in particular you were looking at? Regardless, Is this the usage you'd expect? pod2markdown in.pod pod2markdown in.pod out.mkdn pod2markdown - out.mkdn pod2markdown On Fri Apr 20 08:00:39 2012, DOHERTY wrote: Show quoted text

You're right, the others are much less consistent than I thought. *barf* Yes, your suggested usage makes a lot of sense.
