Pod::Thread 2.00
(Format POD source into thread, an HTML macro language)
Maintained by Russ Allbery <rra@cpan.org>
Copyright 2002, 2008-2009, 2013, 2021 Russ Allbery <rra@cpan.org>. This

section LICENSE below for more information.
BLURB
Pod::Thread translates POD source into thread, a macro language
processed by spin. It supports optionally adding a table of contents
and a navigation bar to the genenerated file. This package also
includes the pod2thread driver script, invoked automatically by spin for
POD files and pointers to POD files.
DESCRIPTION
This package contains a module to translate POD into thread, an HTML
macro language. As such, it's not very useful without spin [1], a
separate program to convert thread into HTML. I wrote this module for
my personal needs and it may not be (and in fact probably isn't)
suitable for more general use as yet.
[1] https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/web/
The eventual intention is to incorporate spin into DocKnot [2], at which
point this module will provide the POD support for DocKnot as a static
site generator. I have no estimate for when that work will be done.
[2] https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/docknot/
The conversion done by this module is mostly straightforward. The only
notable parts are the optional generation of a table of contents or a
navigation bar at the top of the generated file.
REQUIREMENTS
Perl 5.24 or later and Pod::Parser 3.06 or later. As mentioned above,
it's also not particularly useful without spin.
BUILDING AND INSTALLATION
Pod::Thread uses Module::Build and can be installed using the same
process as any other Module::Build module:
perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build install
You will have to run the last command as root unless you're installing
into a local Perl module tree in your home directory.
TESTING
Pod::Thread comes with a test suite, which you can run after building
with:
./Build test
If a test fails, you can run a single test with verbose output via:
./Build test --test_files <path-to-test>
Perl6::Slurp is required by the test suite. The following additional
Perl modules will be used by the test suite if present:
* Devel::Cover
* Perl::Critic::Freenode
* Test::MinimumVersion
* Test::Perl::Critic
* Test::Pod
* Test::Spelling
* Test::Strict
* Test::Synopsis
All are available on CPAN. Those tests will be skipped if the modules
are not available.
To enable tests that don't detect functionality problems but are used to
sanity-check the release, set the environment variable RELEASE_TESTING
to a true value. To enable tests that may be sensitive to the local
environment or that produce a lot of false positives without uncovering
many problems, set the environment variable AUTHOR_TESTING to a true
value.
SUPPORT
The Pod::Thread web page at:
https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/pod-thread/
will always have the current version of this package, the current
documentation, and pointers to any additional resources.
For bug tracking, use the issue tracker on GitHub:
https://github.com/rra/pod-thread/issues
However, please be aware that I tend to be extremely busy and work
projects often take priority. I'll save your report and get to it as
soon as I can, but it may take me a couple of months.
SOURCE REPOSITORY
Pod::Thread is maintained using Git. You can access the current source

The eyrie.org repository is the canonical one, maintained by the author,
but using GitHub is probably more convenient for most purposes. Pull
requests are gratefully reviewed and normally accepted.
