in reply to Re^3: POD not rendering as I intend
in thread POD not rendering as I intend
In a nutshell, what I was after was a way to have perldoc output certain lines without any preceding whitespace. It now seems to me that perldoc puts leading whitespace at the beginning of *every* line of output ... so I don't see that there's any way of really achieving what I wanted. (It'd be nice if I was wrong about that.)
Cheers,

Well, you can't extract a nail with a Phillips head screwdriver, either. There are many different renderers of POD... use the one that gives you the most suitable results.
perldoc is a thin wrapper around Pod::Man. You may achieve better results with Pod::Text. The pod2text (which in turn is a wrapper around Pod::Text) has a number of knobs you can twiddle to alter the output. Maybe you'll find something suitable with that.
