NAME
     Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML -- turn Pod into XML

SYNOPSIS
       perl -MPod::Simple::DumpAsXML -e \
	"exit Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML->filter(shift)->any_errata_seen" \
	thingy.pod

DESCRIPTION
     Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML is a subclass of Pod::Simple that parses Pod and
     turns it into indented and wrapped XML.  This class is of interest to peo-
     ple writing Pod formatters based on Pod::Simple.

     Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML inherits methods from Pod::Simple.

SEE ALSO
     Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream is rather like this class.  Pod::Simple::XMLOut-
     Stream's output is space-padded in a way that's better for sending to an
     XML processor (that is, it has no ignorable whitespace). But Pod::Sim-
     ple::DumpAsXML's output is much more human-readable, being (more-or-less)
     one token per line, with line-wrapping.

     Pod::Simple::DumpAsText is rather like this class, except that it doesn't
     dump with XML syntax.  Try them and see which one you like best!

     The older libraries Pod::PXML, Pod::XML, Pod::SAX
