basepods - print out pod paths for the standard perl manpages
DESCRIPTION
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.
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`
....
