Tk::Pod_usage - How to use the perl/Tk Pod browser widget
To navigate through the documentation one could use
A click on a hyperlink display the corresponding documentation (if there is any) in the same window. An URL will be displayed in a web browser using the (non-CPAN) WWWBrowser module (this will hopefully change).
With <Button-2> the documentation is loaded into a new window (<Shift-Button-1> works also for those with only a 2 button mouse).
A double click tries to load the documentation for the selected word in the same window.
If the Shift key is simultaneously pressed a new browser window
is opened.
The the Tk::Pod::Text manpage widget is based on the the Tk::More manpage widget inheriting its key bindings.
Pressing <Key-/> lets you search in the displayed documentation.
The Section Menu
The 'Section' menu allows to directly jump to the start of a section in the documentation.
If you press the right mouse button you get a popup menu that allows:
The used editor is selected by the first definition of the environment
variables TKPODEDITOR, XEDITOR, VISUAL, EDITOR or as default
/usr/bin/vi. If no terminal is available (or on Windows platforms),
the ptked editor (bundled with Perl/Tk) will be used instead.
See also the menu entries 'File' -> 'Edit' and 'File' -> 'Edit with ptked'.
The remaining menu entries are the same as in normal Text widgets.
You can toggle the tree view of all installed modules on or off with the 'View' -> 'Pod Tree' menu entry. The tree view is organized in three sections: Perl language (general documentation about Perl), Pragmata, and Modules. The labels in the tree are colored, where green means "standard module which comes with the Perl core distribution", red means "locally installed module, probably from CPAN", and grey means "no module available, look at the subtree".
The tree data is cached in a temporary directory on a per-perl-version and per-user basis. A reload can be forced with the Reload entry in the action menu of the tree view. With the Search entry a search in the tree can be performed. The Show modules at CPAN entry is highly experimental - you can download, extract and look at the documentation of all CPAN modules.
