## 8.122 Pod::Text

Converts files from pod format to formatted ASCII text. Not generally used directly, but via the pod2text script (see Chapter 4). Termcap is optionally supported for boldface and underlining and can be enabled with:

>     $Pod::Text::termcap=1

Otherwise, backspaces are used to simulate bold and underlined text. Exports one function:

- pod2text
