PPIx::DocumentName This module contains a few utilities for extracting a "name" out of an arbitrary Perl file. Typically, this is the "module" name, in the form: package Foo However, it also supports extraction of an override statement in the form: # PODNAME: OverrideName::Goes::Here Which may be more applicable for documents that lack a "package" statement, or the "package" statement may be "wrong", but they still need the document parsed under the guise of having a name ( for purposes such as POD ) INSTALLATION This is a Perl module distribution. It should be installed with whichever tool you use to manage your installation of Perl, e.g. any of cpanm . cpan . cpanp -i . Consult http://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html for further instruction.
