Hi all, As some of you may know, chromatic published my five part series on "Testing with Test::Class" on http://www.modernperlbooks.com/. I'm working on software which automatically converts POD to beautifully typeset pdfs, including syntax highlighting. As a test, I converted that article and uploaded it to slideshare:
http://www.slideshare.net/Ovid/testing-with-testclass You might want to read that article for a couple of reasons: * To learn Test::Class (even experienced users will learn stuff) * To give me feedback on how well my converter works :) If you like the output and want to convert your own POD to typeset documents, you can check out my VERY alpha code at: http://github.com/Ovid/Pod-Parser-GroffMom Requires groff (http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/) which is standard on many systems and even has Windows binaries. My code outputs data which groff converts to PostScript, so I don't actually convert directly to PDF, but there appear to be plenty of free PostScript to PDF utilities out there, so I'm not too worried about this (OS X fans can open PostScript files directly in Preview.app).
