man basepods () - print out pod paths for the standard perl manpages

NAME

basepods - print out pod paths for the standard perl manpages

DESCRIPTION

This program uses your configuration's CWinstallprivlib directory to look up the full paths to those pod pages. Any files in that directory whose names end in CW.pod will be printed to the standard output, one per line. This is normally used in backticks to produce a list of filenames for other commands.

EXAMPLES

    $ podgrep typeglob `basepods`


    $ basepods | grep delt
    /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/pod/perl5004delta.pod
    /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/pod/perl5005delta.pod
    /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/pod/perldelta.pod

You can also run this using alternate perl binaries, like so: 

    $ oldperl -S basepods | grep delt
    /usr/lib/perl5/pod/perldelta.pod


    $ podgrep -i thread `filsperl basepods | grep delt`
    ....
