| Subject: | 2 suggestions for module Pod::Usage |
I tried e-mail but the messages bounce back. So I created this "bug" report.
Hi there:
Here are 2 suggestions for module Pod::Usage :
1) Documentation:
Would it be worth adding a reference to the FindBin module next to this
paragraph?
In the pathological case that a script is called via a relative path
and the script itself changes the current working directory (see chdir
in the perlfunc manpage) before calling pod2usage, Pod::Usage will fail
even on robust platforms. Don't do that.
For example, this appears to work:
-input => $FindBin::Bin . "/" . $FindBin::Script
2) It would be nice to have the option to use Pod::Text::Termcap for the
backend. I have written scripts with embedded POD documentation, and I'm
using Pod::Usage to generate the output for command-line switch
'--help'. The script can detected whether it's running on a real console
(instead of outputting to a redirected file) and use that Termcap module
for bold, underlined text and so on.
Many thanks,
