A very simple little script that is missing from perl is pod2text. It should exist as pod2html and co exist. This little script is required to build Mysql DBI modules so I assume that it is a standard part of the perl distribution. You can write your own pod2text by saving the following script in /usr/bin/pod2text: #!/usr/bin/perl eval 'exec /usr/bin/perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}' if $running_under_some_shell; use Pod::Text; pod2text @ARGV;
