NAME

     Pod::Plainer - Perl extension for converting Pod to old
     style Pod.

SYNOPSIS

       use Pod::Plainer;

       my $parser = Pod::Plainer -> new ();
       $parser -> parse_from_filehandle(\*STDIN);

DESCRIPTION

     Pod::Plainer uses Pod::Parser which takes Pod with the (new)
     'C<< .. >>' constructs and returns the old(er) style with
     just 'C<>'; '<' and '>' are replaced by 'E<lt>' and 'E<gt>'.

     This can be used to pre-process Pod before using tools which
     do not recognise the new style Pods.

     EXPORT

     None by default.
