-Pod::Constants - Include constants from POD
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- use vars qw($myvar $VERSION @myarray $html %myhash);
-
- use Pod::Constants -trim => 1,
- 'Pod Section Name' => \$myvar,
- 'Version' => sub { eval },
- 'Some list' => \@myarray,
- html => \$html,
- 'Some hash' => \%myhash;
-
- =head2 Pod Section Name
-
- This string will be loaded into $myvar
-
- =head2 Version
-
- # This is an example of using a closure. $_ is set to the
- # contents of the paragraph. In this example, "eval" is
- # used to execute this code at run time.
- $VERSION = 0.17;
-
- =head2 Some list
-
- Each line from this section of the file
- will be placed into a seperate array element.
- For example, this is $myarray[2].
-
- =head2 Some hash
-
- This text will not go into the hash, because
- it doesn't look like a definition list.
- key1 => Some value (this will go into the hash)
- var2 => Some Other value (so will this)
- wtf = This won't make it in.
-
- =head2 %myhash's value after the above:
-
- ( key1 => "Some value (this will go into the hash)",
- var2 => "Some Other value (so will this)" )
-
- =begin html <p>This text will be in $html</p>

-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-This module allows you to specify those constants that should be
-documented in your POD, and pull them out a run time in a fairly
-arbitrary fashion.
-
-Pod::Constants uses Pod::Parser to do the parsing of the source file.
-It has to open the source file it is called from, and does so directly
-either by lookup in %INC or by assuming it is $0 if the caller is
-"main" (or it can't find %INC{caller()})
-
-=head2 ARBITARY DECISIONS
-
-I have made this code only allow the "Pod Section Name" to match
-`headN', `item', `for' and `begin' POD sections. If you have a good
-reason why you think it should match other POD sections, drop me a
-line and if I'm convinced I'll put it in the standard version.
-
-For `for' and `begin' sections, only the first word is counted as
-being a part of the specifier, as opposed to `headN' and `item', where
-the entire rest of the line counts.

-=head1 FUNCTIONS
-
-=head2 import(@args)
-
-This function is called when we are "use"'d. It determines the source
-file by inspecting the value of caller() or $0.
-
-The form of @args is HOOK => $where.
-
-$where may be a scalar reference, in which case the contents of the
-POD section called "HOOK" will be loaded into $where.
-
-$where may be an array reference, in which case the contents of the
-array will be the contents of the POD section called "HOOK", split
-into lines.
-
-$where may be a hash reference, in which case any lines with a "=>"
-symbol present will have everything on the left have side of the =>
-operator as keys and everything on the right as values. You do not
-need to quote either, nor have trailing commas at the end of the
-lines.
-
-$where may be a code reference (sub { }), in which case the sub is
-called when the hook is encountered. $_ is set to the value of the
-POD paragraph.
-
-You may also specify the behaviour of whitespace trimming; by default,
-no trimming is done except on the HOOK names. Setting "-trim => 1"
-turns on a package "global" (until the next time import is called)
-that will trim the $_ sent for processing by the hook processing
-function (be it a given function, or the built-in array/hash
-splitters) for leading and trailing whitespace.
-
-The name of HOOK is matched against any "=head1", "=head2", "=item",
-"=for", "=begin" value. If you specify the special hooknames "*item",
-"*head1", etc, then you will get a function that is run for every
-
-Note that the supplied functions for array and hash splitting are
-exactly equivalent to fairly simple Perl blocks:
-
-Array:
-
- HOOK => sub { @array = split /\n/, $_ }
-
-Hash:
-
- HOOK => sub {
- %hash =
- (map { map { s/^\s+|\s+$//g; $_ } split /=>/, $_ }
- (grep m/^
- ( (?:[^=]|=[^>])+ ) # scan up to "=>"
- =>
- ( (?:[^=]|=[^>])+ =? )# don't allow more "=>"'s
- $/x, split /\n/, $_));
- }
-
-Well, they're simple if you can grok map, a regular expression like
-that and a functional programming style. If you can't I'm sure it is
-probably voodoo to you.
-
-Here's the procedural equivalent:
-
- HOOK => sub {
- for my $line (split /\n/, $_) {
- my ($key, $value, $junk) = split /=>/, $line;
- next if $junk;
- $key =~ s/^\s+|\s+$//g
- $value =~ s/^\s+|\s+$//g
- $hash{$key} = $value;

-=head2 CLOSURES AS DESTINATIONS
-
-If the given value is a ref CODE, then that function is called, with
-$_ set to the value of the paragraph. This can be very useful for
-applying your own custom mutations to the POD to change it from human
-readable text into something your program can use.
-
-After I added this function, I just kept on thinking of cool uses for
-it. The nice, succinct code you can make with it is one of
-Pod::Constant's strongest features.

-Below are some examples.

+=head2 CLOSURES AS DESTINATIONS
+
+If the given value is a ref CODE, then that function is called, with
+$_ set to the value of the paragraph. This can be very useful for
+applying your own custom mutations to the POD to change it from human
+readable text into something your program can use.
+
+After I added this function, I just kept on thinking of cool uses for
+it. The nice, succinct code you can make with it is one of
+Pod::Constant's strongest features.
+
+Below are some examples.

+=head1 BUGS/TODO
+
+I keep thinking it would be nice to be able to import an =item list
+into an array or something, eg for a program argument list. But I'm
+not too sure how it would be all that useful in practice; you'd end up
+putting the function names for callbacks in the pod or something
+(perhaps not all that bad).
+
+Would this be useful?
+
+ Pod::Constants::import(Foo::SECTION => \$myvar);

+Debug output is not very readable
