lower case in manpage-title

tos has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks,

how can i get lower-case-Chars in pod2man-generated manpage-titles (without edititing the manpage afterwards)

F.i. the given file gUrKe

# touch gUrKe
# pod2man gUrKe |groff -mandoc -Tascii
GURKE(1)      User Contributed Perl Documentation   GURKE(1)


perl v5.8.2          2004-03-22                     GURKE(1)
[download]

Naturally i want to see gUrKe(1). What's to do ?

regards and thanks in advance,
tos

I haven't tested this, but a quick look at `pod2man` tells me that it uses the `Pod::Man` module. Searching for a statement with `uc` yields the following line: `$name = uc File::Basename::basename ($name);` [download] So you could strip out the `uc` and have the file names displayed in their original case. As I said, untested :-) Arjen	[reply] [d/l] [select]
