.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This class returns a copy of its input, translated into Perl's internal
encoding (UTF\-8), and with all the non-Pod lines removed.
.PP
This is a subclass of Pod::Simple::Methody and inherits all its methods.
And since, that in turn is a subclass of Pod::Simple, you can use any of
its methods.  This means you can output to a string instead of a file, or
you can parse from an array.
.PP
This class strives to return the Pod lines of the input completely unchanged,
except for any necessary translation into Perl's internal encoding, and it makes
no effort to return trailing spaces on lines; these likely will be stripped.
If the input pod is well-formed with no warnings nor errors generated, the
extracted pod should generate the same documentation when formatted by a Pod
formatter as the original file does.
.PP
By default, warnings are output to STDERR
