Postings from October 2001
After much procrastination, I've tended to the final comments to the most recent versions of my perlperlpodspec and perlpod rewrite. Attached are the diffs against the last versions posted to pod-people and p5p, and then the new files in their entirety. Most changes are one-line cosmetic things (like changing m/^foo$/s to m/\Afoo\z/) or wording clarifications. The substantial changes are these: it's now an error to try to start a pod block with a =cut. And there's more examples of malformed =begin / =end regions, and explanations of why they're malformed. I now (hereby) submit these for inclusion in the perl distribution. I also strongly suggest that future threads about the Pod format or its implementation (as distinct from, say, perldoc, or the content of the Perl documentation, or patches to either) take place not on p5p (unless clearly necessary), but on the pod-people mailing list. It's much much lower-volume than p5p, and -- it's just about the Pod format! Details and archives for pod-people are at: http://lists.perl.org/showlist.cgi?name=pod-people If you're interested in talking about Pod, get on that list, otherwise don't, and please don't assume that anything Pod-format-relevent will necessarily be crossposted to p5p. PROPS TO MY PEEPS! PEACE OUT!!Thread Next
