Pod::POM is a Perl Pod document parser that exposes an object model called Pod Object Model. The object model is generated as a hierarchical tree of nodes, each of which represents a different element of the original document. The tree can be walked manually and the nodes examined, printed or otherwise manipulated. Pod::POM also provides view objects, which can automatically traverse the tree, or section thereof, and generate an output representation in one form or another.
