Update --man code example in pod.rakudoc #4542

Open

1-1sam wants to merge 1 commit into Raku:main from 1-1sam:main

1-1sam commented Dec 13, 2024

The problem

The --man code example provided in the Rendering Pod to Text section has some issues:

It will only render Pod in the file being executed by Raku. This is
problematic if you intend to distribute the program via Zef, as $*PROGRAM will
not point to the original script but a wrapper without the Pod instead.
Performance issues from invoking Raku.

Solution provided

Print the output of pod2text $=pod using Pod::To::Text directly. This way
we do not have to rely on $*PROGRAM pointing to our script file. It's also
faster than re-invoking Raku.


          Use pod2text directly for --man
