perllocal.pod Posted by Luckasoft (Luckasoft), 8 December 2004 Hello, could anyone tell me what is the file "perllocal.pod" used for?I mean, when new module or package added, its description is added into the "perllocal.pod". But some packages are not described there at all. What is the difference? ----------------------- Does anybody know util or script, which scans lib directory and creates "perllocal.pod" file? Any help appreciated, as I did not even find the perllocal.pod formal format description Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 8 December 2004 It's a pod - Plain Old Documentation - file. If you run the commandperldoc perlpod you'll get a description of the file; it's a simple markup text file used within Perl for documentation that can easily be converted into other formats using utilities such as pod2html pod2latex and pod2text. You can also look at the contents via perldoc perllocal I've not used the file (just looked at here in response to your question) and it looks like it contains details of modules added locally to your Perl installation; I'm guessing it's going to updated by part of the make install script that's run as you install cpan modules (or your own modules if you've created them by h2xs).
