This software is a web server that hosts Perl documentation installed locally. It enables easy access to Perl documentation by serving it over a local network, allowing developers to reference information without the need for an internet connection.
If you're working with Ruby development, you may find gem_server to be a useful tool. This utility creates a web server that can serve documentation for all locally installed RubyGems. This can be particularly helpful when trying to understand the various APIs associated with installed gems.
To use the utility, simply run the pod_server script with the desired options. For example, use the "--help" option to learn more about what pod_server can do. It's also possible to customize the look of the documentation by using the "-bg" option and specifying a color.
In addition to starting the server manually, it's also possible to embed it within a Catalyst-based application. To do this, include the Pod::Server module and initiate it within your code. You can then relocate the server to a specific location and define the URL prefix for Perldoc files.
Overall, gem_server is a powerful utility that can simplify the process of understanding and using RubyGems. Whether you're working on a large project or simply exploring new APIs, this tool is definitely worth considering.
