Easily access Perl 6 documentation within a Perl 5 program with this software. No need to switch between different programs or search for documentation outside your code. Improve your programming workflow with this helpful tool.
Perl6::Perldoc is a valuable Perl module that allows the usage of Perl 6 documentation in a Perl 5 program. To utilize this module, you first need to include the following line of code: use Perl6::Perldoc;
Now, you can freely use Perl 6 style documentation in your program with a simple comment. For instance, by using "=comment", you can add documentation to your program in the new Pod mark-up notation.
This module pre-processes your program's code from the exact point that you use the module. It strips out any Perl 6 documentation specified in Synopsis 26. Essentially, with Perl6::Perldoc, as long as your program begins with "use Perl6::Perldoc", you can add comprehensive documentation that uses the new Pod mark-up notation and still run the program correctly under the Perl 5 interpreter.
Moreover, this module identifies any =DATA sections present in the stripped documentation and makes them accessible to your program in three different ways. Firstly, as a single concatenated string in the $DATA package variable. Secondly, as a sequence of strings (one per =DATA block) in the @DATA package variable. Lastly, as a single concatenated input stream in the *DATA filehandle.
In summary, Perl6::Perldoc is an exceptional software tool that simplifies the process of using Perl 6 documentation in a Perl 5 program. It provides a variety of benefits, such as the ability to document using new Pod mark-up notation and the convenience of utilizing =DATA blocks.
