This means that, so long as your program starts with: use Perl6::Perldoc; you can document it using the new Pod mark-up notation and it will still run correctly under the Perl 5 interpreter. In addition, the module detects any C<=DATA> sections in the stripped documentation and makes them available to your program in three ways: =over =item * As a single concatentated string, in the C<$DATA> package variable =item * As a sequence of strings (one per C<=DATA> block) in the C<@DATA> package variable =item * As a single concatenated input stream in the C<*DATA> filehandle. =back =head1 INTERFACE None. You C the module and it takes care of everything. =head1 DIAGNOSTICS =over =item C<< Can't set up *DATA handle (%s) >> The filter found at least one C<=DATA> block, but was unable to create a C<*DATA> filehandle in the caller's namespace (for the reason specified in the parens). =back =head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT Perl6::Perldoc requires no configuration files or environment variables. =head1 DEPENDENCIES Requires the C module and the standard module C. =head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES None reported. =head1 LIMITATIONS Unlike Perl 6 itself: =over =item * This module does not make every Pod block available to the surrounding program, only the C<=DATA> blocks. This is to avoid the unacceptably slow compilation speed that would result from attempting to fully parse the entire embedded Pod markup and then construct an internal representation of it. =item * The contents of C<=DATA> blocks appear in the global variables C<$DATA> and C<@DATA>, and the global C<*DATA> filehandle, rather than in a special C<$?DATA> object. These variables and filehandle are accessible from C
and in every other package that is explicitly declared in the file. =item * This module does not honour C<=encoding> directives. =back =head1 BUGS No bugs have been reported. Please report any bugs or feature requests to C, or through the web interface at L. =head1 CRUEL IRONY The module itself had to be documented in Perl 5 POD =head1 AUTHOR Damian Conway C<< >> =head1 LICENCE AND COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2007, Damian Conway C<< >>.
