Hey everyone, This is my weekly status update.
I have nothing new to report on Pod::Html except that I plan on doing some commit squashing so the history is not so ugly. On Pod::Checker, however, there is much to report. First off, to solve the issue of it being a subclass of Pod::Parser, my mentors, rafl, and I decided to make it its own dist. Also, rjbs advised to make Pod::Checker have-a Pod::Simple, instead of being-a Pod::Simple, so future changes won't have to worry about breaking the Pod::Simple interface. I will take his advice on this. I have implemented a boat load of error/warning checks this week, starting at 36 combined, now down to 7ish. There is a small quirk where some error checks fail to check when below an unclosed =begin directive. It is a sensible quirk, but I need to work it out in order to get the 7ish down to 7. Three of said error/warnings are proving to be difficult as they require me to edit Pod::Simple::Blackbox, a file I would not mind ever opening, but I may have to stick an ugly TODO comment on them, depending on how much time I have. I have added the pod_handler() feature to Pod::Simple that I briefly mentioned in last week's status update, too. I am currently working on error checks for L<> formatting codes, and if you are curious you can read this week's meeting at https://github.com/rjbs/TPF-GSoC-Pod/tree/master/irclogs which describes my troubles in more detail. For the upcoming week, I have quite a bit on my plate: - implement different warning levels in Pod::Checker - fix the unclosed =begin disable POD checks - test the interface of Pod::Checker (e.g., $checker->idx(), $checker->hyperlinks(), $checker->nodes(), etc) - implement the rest of the error checks I suppose it does not look like a lot, but it is. Thanks, Marc
