perldoc -f works for built-in Perl functions. I'm wondering if there is a tool out there for pulling up a pod entry for a function in my own module. Thanks.
perlfunc is treated specially by the tools, it's not a general-purpose solution at work there. Although there is Pod::Select, that's deprecated in the core now, and it seems to me that Pod-Simple doesn't have a direct replacement. A couple of possible solutions are: I haven't tried them, but on CPAN there's Pod::Simple::Select and Pod::Section (sadly, both modules don't appear to have a decent test suite). Lower-level would be to have a look at how the select method in Pod::Usage works (that module could also be used in a hacky solution by redirecting its output), or if you want to write something custom, I've used Pod::Simple::SimpleTree (example).
