Any files in that directory whose names end in C<.pod> will be printed to the standard output, one per line. This is normally used in backticks to produce a list of filenames for other commands. =head1 EXAMPLES $ podgrep typeglob `basepods` $ basepods | grep delt /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/pod/perl5004delta.pod /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/pod/perl5005delta.pod /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/pod/perldelta.pod You can also run this using alternate perl binaries, like so: $ oldperl -S basepods | grep delt /usr/lib/perl5/pod/perldelta.pod $ podgrep -i thread `filsperl basepods | grep delt` .... =head1 SEE ALSO faqpods(1), modpods(1), pods(1), sitepod(1), podpath(1), and stdpod(1). =head1 AUTHORS and COPYRIGHTS Copyright (C) 1999 Tom Christiansen.
