128=head1 NAME
129
130Pod::Perldoc::ToMan - let Perldoc render Pod as man pages
131
132=head1 SYNOPSIS
133
134  perldoc -o man Some::Modulename
135
136=head1 DESCRIPTION
137
138This is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to use
139Pod::Man and C<nroff> for reading Pod pages.
140
141The following options are supported:  center, date, fixed, fixedbold,
142fixeditalic, fixedbolditalic, quotes, release, section
143
144(Those options are explained in L<Pod::Man>.)
145
146For example:
147
148  perldoc -o man -w center:Pod Some::Modulename
149
150=head1 CAVEAT
151
152This module may change to use a different pod-to-nroff formatter class
153in the future, and this may change what options are supported.
