Pod::Hyperlink::BounceURL - Allow off-page links in POD to point to a URL
use Pod::Hyperlink::BounceURL; my $linkparser = new Pod::Hyperlink::BounceURL; $linkparser->configure( URL => '/cgi-perl/support/bounce.pl?page=%s' ); my $pod2xhtml = new Pod::Xhtml( LinkParser => $linkparser );
Some links in your pod may not be resolveable by Pod::Hyperlink, e.g.
L<Some::Module> - this module allows you to detect such links and generate a hyperlink instead of some static text. The target URL will probably be some kind of dynamic webpage or CGI application which can then serve up the relevant page or send a redirect to the page, hence the "bounce" in this module's name.
This module overrides the type() method and, for relevant links, will return a string which is "bounceurl:" followed by the URL, instead of returning "page" or "item". Your pod-conversion module can then switch on this case and emit the correct kind of markup. Pod::Xhtml supports the use of this module.
Set persistent configuration for this object. See "OPTIONS".
The URL to handle the link, which may be absolute or relative, of any protocol - it's just treated as a string and is passed through sprintf(), with two string arguments that are both already URL-escaped.
The first argument is the page name, and will always exist. The second argument is the "node" within the page, and may be empty.
Insert '%s' where you wish the arguments to be interpolated. The string goes through sprintf() so you should have '%%' where you want an actual percent sign. If you need the arguments in a different order, see the perl-specific features of "sprintf" in perlfunc.
