basepods - print out pod paths for the standard perl manpages
This program uses your configuration's "installprivlib" directory to
look up the full paths to those pod pages. Any files in that directory whose
names end in ".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.
$ 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`
