Pod::Weaver::Section::Generic(3)

NAME
Pod::Weaver::Section::Generic - a generic section, found by lifting sections

VERSION
version 4.020

OVERVIEW
This section will find and include a located hunk of Pod. In general, it will find a "=head1" command with a content of the plugin's name.

In other words, if your configuration include:

  [Generic]
  header = OVERVIEW

...then this weaver will look for "=head1 OVERVIEW" and include it at the appropriate location in your output.

Since you'll probably want to use Generic several times, and that will require giving each use a unique name, you can omit "header" if you provide a plugin name, and it will default to the plugin name. In other words, the configuration above could be specified just as:

  [Generic / OVERVIEW]

If the "required" attribute is given, and true, then an exception will be raised if this section can't be found.

PERL VERSION
This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. This means it should work on any version of perl released in the last two to three years. (That is, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.)

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.

ATTRIBUTES

  required
A boolean value specifying whether this section is required to be present or not. Defaults to false.

If it's enabled and the section can't be found an exception will be raised.

  header
The name of this section. Defaults to the plugin name.
