perl-Pod-Eventual

Read a POD document as a series of trivial events

POD is a pretty simple format to write, but it can be a big pain to deal with reading it and doing anything useful with it. Most existing POD parsers care about semantics, like whether a '=item' occurred after an '=over' but before a 'back', figuring out how to link a 'L<>', and other things like that. Pod::Eventual is much less ambitious and much more stupid. Fortunately, stupid is often better. (That's what I keep telling myself, anyway.) Pod::Eventual reads line-based input and produces events describing each POD paragraph or directive it finds. Once complete events are immediately passed to the 'handle_event' method. This method should be implemented by Pod::Eventual subclasses. If it isn't, Pod::Eventual's own 'handle_event' will be called, and will raise an exception.
