This software feature allows users to test the image display functionality in pod documentation, ensuring that images appear correctly and enhance the overall quality of documentation. This helps to improve the user experience and engagement with the content.
It is believed that a picture speaks a thousand words, and this is no different in the world of software development. Back in December 1977, Ken Thompson utilized graphics while writing a manuscript on the UNIX Implementation, which was published in Bell System Technical Journal, Jul/Aug 1978, Vol. 57, No. 6, Part 2. Times have changed, and we still do not have any graphics displayed in documentation as displayed at perldoc.perl.org after 32 years! This is a significant step backward and slows down the development process, especially with the increasing level of complexity.
Therefore, to provide better documentation loaded with graphics, module writers need a method for it to be displayed. This is where Pod::Trial::LinkImg comes into play. This do-nothing module helps module writers test their graphics and ensure that they are displayed correctly on the perldoc.perl.org website. So, if you're a module writer and you're looking for a module to help test your graphics, Pod::Trial::LinkImg is an excellent choice.
