Pod::Tree::PerlFunc - translate perlfunc.pod to HTML

  $perl_map  = Pod::Tree::PerlMap->new;
  $perl_func = Pod::Tree::PerlFunc->new($perl_dir, $HTML_dir, $perl_map, %opts);
  $perl_func->scan;
  $perl_func->index;
  $perl_func->translate;

"Pod::Tree::PerlFunc" translates perlfunc.pod to HTML. It creates a separate HTML page for each function description in perlfunc.pod. The pages for the individual descriptions are named after the function and written to a func/ subdirectory. perlfunc.html is generated as an index to all the pages in func/.

"Pod::Tree::PerlFunc" generates and uses an index of the functions that it finds in perlfunc.pod to construct HTML links. Other modules can also use this index.

$perl_func = "new" "Pod::Tree::PerlFunc" $perl_dir, $HTML_dir, $perl_map, %options
Creates and returns a new "Pod::Tree::PerlFunc" object.

$perl_dir is the root of the Perl source tree.

$HTML_dir is the directory where HTML files will be written.

$perl_map maps function names to URLs.

%options are passed through to "Pod::Tree::HTML".

$perl_func->"scan"
Reads perlfunc.pod and identifies all the functions in it. Each function that is identified is entered into $perl_map.
$perl_func->"index"
Generates a top-level index of all the functions. The index is written to HTML_dir"/pod/perlfunc.html".
$perl_func->"translate"
Translates each function found by "scan" to HTML. The HTML pages are written to HTML_dir"/pod/func/".

"Pod::Tree::PerlFunc" indexes every "=item" paragraph in perlfunc.html. To link, for example, to the "abs" function, write

    L<func/abs>

    5.005;
    Pod::Tree;
    Pod::Tree::HTML;
    Pod::Tree::PerlUtil;

Nothing.
