How To Install libpod-parser-perl on Debian 11
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libpod-parser-perl on Debian 11.
What is libpod-parser-perl
libpod-parser-perl is:
This package contains the following mdoules for using Perl5 “pod” (Plain Old Documentation).
“Pod::Parser”, which provides a base class for parsing and selecting sections of POD documentation from an input stream.
“Pod::Select”, which provides a subclass of Pod::Parser and an exported function named “podselect()” to dump selected sections of raw pod documentation from an input stream.
“Pod::PlainText”, which is a replacement for “Pod::Text” and the corresponding “pod2text()” function. It is derived from the Pod::Parser class. As of perl 5.00_58, Pod::PlainText has been re-written by Russ Allbery, and has been renamed to Pod::Text in the core Perl distribution (replacing the previous implementation of Pod::Text). The Pod::PlainText module is still provided with Pod::Parser solely for backward compatibility.
“Pod::InputObjects”: Some input objects needed by Pod::Parser, and for advanced users of Pod::Parser that need more about a command besides its name and text.
“Pod::ParseUtils”, a module with several object-oriented helpers for POD parsing and processing. Probably the most important is Pod::Hyperlink for parsing and expanding POD hyperlinks L<…>.
This distribution is considered to be legacy - it has been superseded by Pod::Simple which brings more robustness, unicode and various other benefits. It has been removed from perl core after 5.31.0, and is packaged only for backward compatibility.
