# This class is just a hack to act as a "formatter" for

Pod::Perldoc::ToPod - let Perldoc render Pod as ... Pod!
perldoc -opod Some::Modulename
(That's currently the same as the following:)
perldoc -u Some::Modulename
This is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to display Pod source as
Currently this class works by just filtering out the non-Pod stuff from
