Parses an L<>
formatting code in POD text. It implements a single function, parselink(), which takes the text of an
L<> formatting code and
parses it. parselink() returns the
anchor text for the link, the anchor text possibly inferred from the
name and section, the name or URL, and the section and the type of
link. The link type will be url,
pod, or man. For example:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w use Pod::ParseLink; my $link = 'L<http://www.some-site.com/indexes/index.html>'; my ($text, $inferred, $name, $section, $type) = parselink ($link);
