Pod::Parser parses PODs, and makes method calls to handle the various components of the POD. Subclasses of Pod::Parser override these methods to translate the POD into whatever output format they desire.
You may also want to override the begin_input() and end_input() methods for your subclass (to perform any needed per-file and/or per-document initialization or cleanup).
If you need to perform any preprocesssing of input before it is parsed you may want to override one or more of preprocess_line() and/or preprocess_paragraph().
Sometimes it may be necessary to make more than one pass over the input files. If this is the case you have several options. You can make the first pass using Pod::Parser and override your methods to store the intermediate results in memory somewhere for the end_pod() method to process. You could use Pod::Parser for several passes with an appropriate state variable to control the operation for each pass. If your input source can't be reset to start at the beginning, you can store it in some other structure as a string or an array and have that structure implement a getline() method (which is all that parse_from_filehandle() uses to read input).
Feel free to add any member data fields you need to keep track of things like current font, indentation, horizontal or vertical position, or whatever else you like. Be sure to read ``PRIVATE METHODS AND DATA'' to avoid name collisions.
For the most part, the Pod::Parser base class should be able to do most of the input parsing for you and leave you free to worry about how to intepret the commands and translate the result.
Note that all we have described here in this quick overview is the simplest most straightforward use of Pod::Parser to do stream-based parsing. It is also possible to use the Pod::Parser::parse_text function to do more sophisticated tree-based parsing. See ``TREE-BASED PARSING''.
Pod::Parser will still interpret the "=cut" directive to mean that ``cutting mode'' has been (re)entered, but the caller will get a chance to capture the actual "=cut" paragraph itself for whatever purpose it desires.
Please see ``parseopts()'' for a complete description of the interface for the setting and unsetting of parse-options.
$parser->command($cmd,$text,$line_num,$pod_para);
This method should be overridden by subclasses to take the appropriate action when a POD command paragraph (denoted by a line beginning with ``='') is encountered. When such a POD directive is seen in the input, this method is called and is passed:
Note that this method is called for "=pod" paragraphs.
The base class implementation of this method simply treats the raw POD command as normal block of paragraph text (invoking the textblock() method with the command paragraph).
$parser->verbatim($text,$line_num,$pod_para);
This method may be overridden by subclasses to take the appropriate action when a block of verbatim text is encountered. It is passed the following parameters:
The base class implementation of this method simply prints the textblock (unmodified) to the output filehandle.
$parser->textblock($text,$line_num,$pod_para);
This method may be overridden by subclasses to take the appropriate action when a normal block of POD text is encountered (although the base class method will usually do what you want). It is passed the following parameters:
In order to process interior sequences, subclasses implementations of this method will probably want to invoke either interpolate() or parse_text(), passing it the text block $text, and the corresponding line number in $line_num, and then perform any desired processing upon the returned result.
The base class implementation of this method simply prints the text block as it occurred in the input stream).
$parser->interior_sequence($seq_cmd,$seq_arg,$pod_seq);
This method should be overridden by subclasses to take the appropriate action when an interior sequence is encountered. An interior sequence is an embedded command within a block of text which appears as a command name (usually a single uppercase character) followed immediately by a string of text which is enclosed in angle brackets. This method is passed the sequence command $seq_cmd and the corresponding text $seq_arg. It is invoked by the interpolate() method for each interior sequence that occurs in the string that it is passed. It should return the desired text string to be used in place of the interior sequence. The $pod_seq argument is a reference to a "Pod::InteriorSequence" object which contains further information about the interior sequence. Please see Pod::InputObjects for details if you need to access this additional information.
Subclass implementations of this method may wish to invoke the nested() method of $pod_seq to see if it is nested inside some other interior-sequence (and if so, which kind).
The base class implementation of the interior_sequence() method simply returns the raw text of the interior sequence (as it occurred in the input) to the caller.
my $parser = Pod::Parser->new();
This is the constructor for Pod::Parser and its subclasses. You do not need to override this method! It is capable of constructing subclass objects as well as base class objects, provided you use any of the following constructor invocation styles:
my $parser1 = MyParser->new();
my $parser2 = new MyParser();
my $parser3 = $parser2->new();
where "MyParser" is some subclass of Pod::Parser.
Using the syntax "MyParser::new()" to invoke the constructor is not recommended, but if you insist on being able to do this, then the subclass will need to override the new() constructor method. If you do override the constructor, you must be sure to invoke the initialize() method of the newly blessed object.
Using any of the above invocations, the first argument to the constructor is always the corresponding package name (or object reference). No other arguments are required, but if desired, an associative array (or hash-table) my be passed to the new() constructor, as in:
my $parser1 = MyParser->new( MYDATA => $value1, MOREDATA => $value2 );
my $parser2 = new MyParser( -myflag => 1 );
All arguments passed to the new() constructor will be treated as key/value pairs in a hash-table. The newly constructed object will be initialized by copying the contents of the given hash-table (which may have been empty). The new() constructor for this class and all of its subclasses returns a blessed reference to the initialized object (hash-table).
$parser->initialize();
This method performs any necessary object initialization. It takes no arguments (other than the object instance of course, which is typically copied to a local variable named $self). If subclasses override this method then they must be sure to invoke "$self->SUPER::initialize()".
$parser->begin_pod();
This method is invoked at the beginning of processing for each POD document that is encountered in the input. Subclasses should override this method to perform any per-document initialization.
$parser->begin_input();
This method is invoked by parse_from_filehandle() immediately before processing input from a filehandle. The base class implementation does nothing, however, subclasses may override it to perform any per-file initializations.
Note that if multiple files are parsed for a single POD document (perhaps the result of some future "=include" directive) this method is invoked for every file that is parsed. If you wish to perform certain initializations once per document, then you should use begin_pod().
$parser->end_input();
This method is invoked by parse_from_filehandle() immediately after processing input from a filehandle. The base class implementation does nothing, however, subclasses may override it to perform any per-file cleanup actions.
Please note that if multiple files are parsed for a single POD document (perhaps the result of some kind of "=include" directive) this method is invoked for every file that is parsed. If you wish to perform certain cleanup actions once per document, then you should use end_pod().
$parser->end_pod();
This method is invoked at the end of processing for each POD document that is encountered in the input. Subclasses should override this method to perform any per-document finalization.
$textline = $parser->preprocess_line($text, $line_num);
This method should be overridden by subclasses that wish to perform any kind of preprocessing for each line of input (before it has been determined whether or not it is part of a POD paragraph). The parameter $text is the input line; and the parameter $line_num is the line number of the corresponding text line.
The value returned should correspond to the new text to use in its place. If the empty string or an undefined value is returned then no further processing will be performed for this line.
Please note that the preprocess_line() method is invoked before the preprocess_paragraph() method. After all (possibly preprocessed) lines in a paragraph have been assembled together and it has been determined that the paragraph is part of the POD documentation from one of the selected sections, then preprocess_paragraph() is invoked.
The base class implementation of this method returns the given text.
$textblock = $parser->preprocess_paragraph($text, $line_num);
This method should be overridden by subclasses that wish to perform any kind of preprocessing for each block (paragraph) of POD documentation that appears in the input stream. The parameter $text is the POD paragraph from the input file; and the parameter $line_num is the line number for the beginning of the corresponding paragraph.
The value returned should correspond to the new text to use in its place If the empty string is returned or an undefined value is returned, then the given $text is ignored (not processed).
This method is invoked after gathering up all the lines in a paragraph and after determining the cutting state of the paragraph, but before trying to further parse or interpret them. After preprocess_paragraph() returns, the current cutting state (which is returned by "$self->cutting()") is examined. If it evaluates to true then input text (including the given $text) is cut (not processed) until the next POD directive is encountered.
Please note that the preprocess_line() method is invoked before the preprocess_paragraph() method. After all (possibly preprocessed) lines in a paragraph have been assembled together and either it has been determined that the paragraph is part of the POD documentation from one of the selected sections or the "-want_nonPODs" option is true, then preprocess_paragraph() is invoked.
The base class implementation of this method returns the given text.
$ptree1 = $parser->parse_text($text, $line_num);
$ptree2 = $parser->parse_text({%opts}, $text, $line_num);
$ptree3 = $parser->parse_text(\%opts, $text, $line_num);
This method is useful if you need to perform your own interpolation of interior sequences and can't rely upon interpolate to expand them in simple bottom-up order.
The parameter $text is a string or block of text to be parsed for interior sequences; and the parameter $line_num is the line number curresponding to the beginning of $text.
parse_text() will parse the given text into a parse-tree of ``nodes.'' and interior-sequences. Each ``node'' in the parse tree is either a text-string, or a Pod::InteriorSequence. The result returned is a parse-tree of type Pod::ParseTree. Please see Pod::InputObjects for more information about Pod::InteriorSequence and Pod::ParseTree.
If desired, an optional hash-ref may be specified as the first argument to customize certain aspects of the parse-tree that is created and returned. The set of recognized option keywords are:
If a subroutine reference was given, it is invoked as:
&$code_ref( $parser, $sequence )
and if a method-name was given, it is invoked as:
$parser->method_name( $sequence )
where $parser is a reference to the parser object, and $sequence is a reference to the interior-sequence object. [NOTE: If the interior_sequence() method is specified, then it is invoked according to the interface specified in ``interior_sequence()''].
If a subroutine reference was given, it is invoked as:
&$code_ref( $parser, $text, $ptree_node )
and if a method-name was given, it is invoked as:
$parser->method_name( $text, $ptree_node )
where $parser is a reference to the parser object, $text is the text-string encountered, and $ptree_node is a reference to the current node in the parse-tree (usually an interior-sequence object or else the top-level node of the parse-tree).
If a subroutine reference was given, it is invoked as:
&$code_ref( $parser, $ptree )
and if a method-name was given, it is invoked as:
$parser->method_name( $ptree )
where $parser is a reference to the parser object, and $ptree is a reference to the parse-tree object.
$textblock = $parser->interpolate($text, $line_num);
This method translates all text (including any embedded interior sequences) in the given text string $text and returns the interpolated result. The parameter $line_num is the line number corresponding to the beginning of $text.
interpolate() merely invokes a private method to recursively expand nested interior sequences in bottom-up order (innermost sequences are expanded first). If there is a need to expand nested sequences in some alternate order, use parse_text instead.
$parser->parse_from_filehandle($in_fh,$out_fh);
This method takes an input filehandle (which is assumed to already be opened for reading) and reads the entire input stream looking for blocks (paragraphs) of POD documentation to be processed. If no first argument is given the default input filehandle "STDIN" is used.
The $in_fh parameter may be any object that provides a getline() method to retrieve a single line of input text (hence, an appropriate wrapper object could be used to parse PODs from a single string or an array of strings).
Using "$in_fh->getline()", input is read line-by-line and assembled into paragraphs or ``blocks'' (which are separated by lines containing nothing but whitespace). For each block of POD documentation encountered it will invoke a method to parse the given paragraph.
If a second argument is given then it should correspond to a filehandle where output should be sent (otherwise the default output filehandle is "STDOUT" if no output filehandle is currently in use).
NOTE: For performance reasons, this method caches the input stream at the top of the stack in a local variable. Any attempts by clients to change the stack contents during processing when in the midst executing of this method will not affect the input stream used by the current invocation of this method.
This method does not usually need to be overridden by subclasses.
$parser->parse_from_file($filename,$outfile);
This method takes a filename and does the following:
If the special input filename ``-'' or ``<&STDIN'' is given then the STDIN filehandle is used for input (and no open or close is performed). If no input filename is specified then ``-'' is implied.
If a second argument is given then it should be the name of the desired output file. If the special output filename ``-'' or ``>&STDOUT'' is given then the STDOUT filehandle is used for output (and no open or close is performed). If the special output filename ``>&STDERR'' is given then the STDERR filehandle is used for output (and no open or close is performed). If no output filehandle is currently in use and no output filename is specified, then ``-'' is implied. Alternatively, an IO::String object is also accepted as an output file handle.
This method does not usually need to be overridden by subclasses.
$parser->errorsub("method_name");
$parser->errorsub(\&warn_user);
$parser->errorsub(sub { print STDERR, @_ });
Specifies the method or subroutine to use when printing error messages about POD syntax. The supplied method/subroutine must return TRUE upon successful printing of the message. If "undef" is given, then the warn builtin is used to issue error messages (this is the default behavior).
my $errorsub = $parser->errorsub()
my $errmsg = "This is an error message!\n"
(ref $errorsub) and &{$errorsub}($errmsg)
or (defined $errorsub) and $parser->$errorsub($errmsg)
or warn($errmsg);
Returns a method name, or else a reference to the user-supplied subroutine used to print error messages. Returns "undef" if the warn builtin is used to issue error messages (this is the default behavior).
$boolean = $parser->cutting();
Returns the current "cutting" state: a boolean-valued scalar which evaluates to true if text from the input file is currently being ``cut'' (meaning it is not considered part of the POD document).
$parser->cutting($boolean);
Sets the current "cutting" state to the given value and returns the result.
## See if we are parsing non-POD sections as well as POD ones
my %opts = $parser->parseopts();
$opts{'-want_nonPODs}' and print "-want_nonPODs\n";
When invoked using a single string, parseopts treats the string as the name of a parse-option and returns its corresponding value if it exists (returns "undef" if it doesn't).
## Did we ask to see '=cut' paragraphs?
my $want_cut = $parser->parseopts('-process_cut_cmd');
$want_cut and print "-process_cut_cmd\n";
When invoked with multiple arguments, parseopts treats them as key/value pairs and the specified parse-option names are set to the given values. Any unspecified parse-options are unaffected.
## Set them back to the default
$parser->parseopts(-warnings => 0);
When passed a single hash-ref, parseopts uses that hash to completely reset the existing parse-options, all previous parse-option values are lost.
## Reset all options to default
$parser->parseopts( { } );
See ``PARSING OPTIONS'' for more information on the name and meaning of each parse-option currently recognized.
$fname = $parser->output_file();
Returns the name of the output file being written.
$fhandle = $parser->output_handle();
Returns the output filehandle object.
$fname = $parser->input_file();
Returns the name of the input file being read.
$fhandle = $parser->input_handle();
Returns the current input filehandle object.
Private data fields are stored in the hash-object whose reference is returned by the new() constructor for this class. The names of all private methods and data-fields used by Pod::Parser begin with a prefix of ``_'' and match the regular expression "/^_\w+$/".
Pay special attention to ``METHODS FOR PARSING AND PROCESSING'' and to the objects described in Pod::InputObjects. The former describes the gory details and parameters for how to customize and extend the parsing behavior of Pod::Parser. Pod::InputObjects provides several objects that may all be used interchangeably as parse-trees. The most obvious one is the Pod::ParseTree object. It defines the basic interface and functionality that all things trying to be a POD parse-tree should do. A Pod::ParseTree is defined such that each ``node'' may be a text-string, or a reference to another parse-tree. Each Pod::Paragraph object and each Pod::InteriorSequence object also supports the basic parse-tree interface.
The parse_text() method takes a given paragraph of text, and returns a parse-tree that contains one or more children, each of which may be a text-string, or an InteriorSequence object. There are also callback-options that may be passed to parse_text() to customize the way it expands or transforms interior-sequences, as well as the returned result. These callbacks can be used to create a parse-tree with custom-made objects (which may or may not support the parse-tree interface, depending on how you choose to do it).
If you wish to turn an entire POD document into a parse-tree, that process is fairly straightforward. The parse_text() method is the key to doing this successfully. Every paragraph-callback (i.e. the polymorphic methods for command(), verbatim(), and textblock() paragraphs) takes a Pod::Paragraph object as an argument. Each paragraph object has a parse_tree() method that can be used to get or set a corresponding parse-tree. So for each of those paragraph-callback methods, simply call parse_text() with the options you desire, and then use the returned parse-tree to assign to the given paragraph object.
That gives you a parse-tree for each paragraph - so now all you need is an ordered list of paragraphs. You can maintain that yourself as a data element in the object/hash. The most straightforward way would be simply to use an array-ref, with the desired set of custom ``options'' for each invocation of parse_text. Let's assume the desired option-set is given by the hash %options. Then we might do something like the following:
package MyPodParserTree;
@ISA = qw( Pod::Parser );
...
sub begin_pod {
my $self = shift;
$self->{'-paragraphs'} = []; ## initialize paragraph list
}
sub command {
my ($parser, $command, $paragraph, $line_num, $pod_para) = @_;
my $ptree = $parser->parse_text({%options}, $paragraph, ...);
$pod_para->parse_tree( $ptree );
push @{ $self->{'-paragraphs'} }, $pod_para;
}
sub verbatim {
my ($parser, $paragraph, $line_num, $pod_para) = @_;
push @{ $self->{'-paragraphs'} }, $pod_para;
}
sub textblock {
my ($parser, $paragraph, $line_num, $pod_para) = @_;
my $ptree = $parser->parse_text({%options}, $paragraph, ...);
$pod_para->parse_tree( $ptree );
push @{ $self->{'-paragraphs'} }, $pod_para;
}
...
package main;
...
my $parser = new MyPodParserTree(...);
$parser->parse_from_file(...);
my $paragraphs_ref = $parser->{'-paragraphs'};
Of course, in this module-author's humble opinion, I'd be more inclined to use the existing Pod::ParseTree object than a simple array. That way everything in it, paragraphs and sequences, all respond to the same core interface for all parse-tree nodes. The result would look something like:
package MyPodParserTree2;
...
sub begin_pod {
my $self = shift;
$self->{'-ptree'} = new Pod::ParseTree; ## initialize parse-tree
}
sub parse_tree {
## convenience method to get/set the parse-tree for the entire POD
(@_ > 1) and $_[0]->{'-ptree'} = $_[1];
return $_[0]->{'-ptree'};
}
sub command {
my ($parser, $command, $paragraph, $line_num, $pod_para) = @_;
my $ptree = $parser->parse_text({<<options>>}, $paragraph, ...);
$pod_para->parse_tree( $ptree );
$parser->parse_tree()->append( $pod_para );
}
sub verbatim {
my ($parser, $paragraph, $line_num, $pod_para) = @_;
$parser->parse_tree()->append( $pod_para );
}
sub textblock {
my ($parser, $paragraph, $line_num, $pod_para) = @_;
my $ptree = $parser->parse_text({<<options>>}, $paragraph, ...);
$pod_para->parse_tree( $ptree );
$parser->parse_tree()->append( $pod_para );
}
...
package main;
...
my $parser = new MyPodParserTree2(...);
$parser->parse_from_file(...);
my $ptree = $parser->parse_tree;
...
Now you have the entire POD document as one great big parse-tree. You can even use the -expand_seq option to parse_text to insert whole different kinds of objects. Just don't expect Pod::Parser to know what to do with them after that. That will need to be in your code. Or, alternatively, you can insert any object you like so long as it conforms to the Pod::ParseTree interface.
One could use this to create subclasses of Pod::Paragraphs and Pod::InteriorSequences for specific commands (or to create your own custom node-types in the parse-tree) and add some kind of emit() method to each custom node/subclass object in the tree. Then all you'd need to do is recursively walk the tree in the desired order, processing the children (most likely from left to right) by formatting them if they are text-strings, or by calling their emit() method if they are objects/references.
Pod::InputObjects defines POD input objects corresponding to command paragraphs, parse-trees, and interior-sequences.
Pod::Select is a subclass of Pod::Parser which provides the ability to selectively include and/or exclude sections of a POD document from being translated based upon the current heading, subheading, subsubheading, etc.
