Another blocked mail that deserves a better treatment.

Organization: The Eyrie User-Agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/26.1 (gnu/linux) Martin Quinson <martin.quinson(a)ens-rennes.fr&gt; writes: Pod::Simple has a very different organizational structure than Pod::Parser and it will probably require some reworking or a compatibility layer to adapt Pod::Parser code to it. To understand how Pod::Simple natively thinks about passing information to you, you'll want to look at: Pod::Simple::Subclassing and then the three major layers over Pod::Simple: Pod::Simple::Methody Pod::Simple::PullParser Pod::Simple::SimpleTree which gives you method callbacks, a token stream, and a tree respectively. I have to admit that when converting Pod::Man and Pod::Text, I ended up writing my own layer to call into the structure that I was already using with Pod::Parser. A similar approach may work for you since you're coming from a Pod::Parser world. Take a look at the code that starts here: https://github.com/rra/podlators/blob/master/lib/Pod/Text.pm#L149 It's fairly short. It depends on the interface that you use, but in general you'll get a reference to an attrs hash passed into your code, and the start_line element of that hash is the line number. I suspect the line numbers will be more accurate, although I haven't tested this myself. Yes, call the code_handler() method and pass it a callback. That callback will be called for each non-POD block in the source file, and can then do what it wants with them. -- #!/usr/bin/perl -- Russ Allbery, Just Another Perl Hacker $^=q;@!>~|{>krw>yn{u<$$<[~||<Juukn{=,<S~|}<Jwx}qn{<Yn{u<Qjltn{ > 0gFzD gD, 00Fz, 0,,( 0hF 0g)F/=, 0> "L$/GEIFewe{,$/ 0C$~> "@=,m,|,(e 0.), 01,pnn,y{ rw} >;,$0=q,$,,($_=$^)=~y,$/ C-~><@=\n\r,-~$:-u/ #y,d,s,(\$.),$1,gee,print ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Reject: The reference on the SimGrid toolkit is outdated. -- Bastard Reviewer From Hell
