use Perl

the pod2it team (Italian translation project of core Perl pods) is proud to announce a new POD2::IT release available on CPAN.

CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS VERSION

• + Added perlunicode.pod translation [dakkar]
• + Added resources/podenc.pl script in order to encode italian characters with E<> sequence [dakkar, bepi]
• ! Updated E<> pod entities [bepi]
• ! Updated IT.pm pod documentation [bepi]
• ! Fixed Changes and README typos [bepi]

POD2::IT also contains the patch to Pod/Perldoc.pm in order to continue to use -f and -q switches with translated pods (not only italian) with the syntax:

%> perldoc -L IT <podname>
%> perldoc -L IT -f <function>
%> perldoc -L IT -q <FAQregex>

I added a -L switch that allow to define language code for desired language translation. If POD2::<code> package doesn't exists, the effect of the switch will be ignored.

I hope that a p5p guy will apply it to Pod::Perldoc... :-)

I want to thank also YAPC::Belfast organizers for accepting my talk ("Office Automation with Perl and Open Office"): I will propose it again next year and I'll publish the link of the slides (sometime, somewhere... :-).

Good luck for YAPC::Eu 04! ;-)
