```{index} single: Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML ``` # Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML turn Pod into XML ## SYNOPSIS ```perl 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](../Simple.md) that parses Pod and turns it into indented and wrapped XML. This class is of interest to people writing Pod formatters based on Pod::Simple. Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML inherits methods from [Pod::Simple](../Simple.md). ## SEE ALSO [Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream](XMLOutStream.md) is rather like this class. Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream'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::Simple::DumpAsXML's output is much more human-readable, being (more-or-less) one token per line, with line-wrapping. [Pod::Simple::DumpAsText](DumpAsText.md) is rather like this class, except that it doesn't dump with XML syntax. Try them and see which one you like best!
