Pod::Coverage::TrustPod(3)

NAME
Pod::Coverage::TrustPod - allow a module's pod to contain Pod::Coverage hints

VERSION
version 0.100003

DESCRIPTION
This is a Pod::Coverage subclass (actually, a subclass of Pod::Coverage::CountParents) that allows the POD itself to declare certain symbol names trusted.

Here is a sample Perl module:

  package Foo::Bar;

  =head1 NAME

  Foo::Bar - a bar at which fooes like to drink

  =head1 METHODS

  =head2 fee

  returns the bar tab

  =cut

  sub fee { ... }

  =head2 fie

  scoffs at bar tab

  =cut

  sub fie { ... }

  sub foo { ... }

  =begin Pod::Coverage

    foo

  =end Pod::Coverage

  =cut

This file would report full coverage, because any non-empty lines inside a block of POD targeted to Pod::Coverage are treated as "trustme" patterns. Leading and trailing whitespace is stripped and the remainder is treated as a regular expression anchored at both ends.

Remember, anywhere you could use "=begin" and "=end" as above, you could instead write:

  =for Pod::Coverage foo

In some cases, you may wish to make the entire file trusted. The special pattern "*EVERYTHING*" may be provided to do just this.

Keep in mind that Pod::Coverage::TrustPod sets up exceptions using the "trust" mechanism rather than the "privacy" mechanism in Pod::Coverage. This is unlikely ever to matter to you, but it's true.
