The rest are either directories that are searched recursively or files. 1 Apply Perl-specific heuristics to find the correct PODs. 1 Search for PODs in the current Perl interpreter's installation scriptdir . This is taken from the local Config module. Reference to an array of search directories.
Current directory is used if none are specified.
Additionally, '.pm', '.pl' and '.pod' are appended to the search automatically if required. This ensures that e.g. perlfunc is found. It is assumed that if a module name is supplied, that that name matches the file name. Pods are not opened to check for the 'NAME' entry. A check is made to make sure that the file that is found does contain some pod documentation.
