Modules are packaged into convenient groups for distribution. Each package may contain multiple modules. This section provides a quick reference to email-related Perl modules, grouped as they are distributed on CPAN.
Most modules have documentation with them, either as separate documents in the distribution, as POD embedded in the code, or both. POD may be read by executing a command like this one on a Perl module itself:
pod2man [modulename].pm | nroff -man | lessThis command uses Perl’s pod2man program to parse the module for POD documentation, which is then piped to nroff for formatting as a manual page. The result is then sent to a pager.
