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.
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.
