Weird...I've copied your code and still getting just the message and not the pod section "special". No doubt I must be overlooking something simple. I'll look some more. Thanks toolic. J

    If what you say is based on accurate copy/test of toolic's code, then next you'd best tell us about any and ALL untoward outputs.

    Better yet, you might want to walk thru your/toolic's code with the debugger and tell us what that discloses.


    If you didn't program your executable by toggling in binary, it wasn't really programming!

    It should be something simple. Try this for the SPECIAL section:
    #!/usr/bin/perl BEGIN { $| = 1; $^W = 1; } use strict; use warnings; use Pod::Usage; use Getopt::Long; my $help = 0; pod2usage(2) unless GetOptions('help|?' => \$help); my $verbose = 99; my $message_text = "special usage stuff here...\n"; my $sections = 'SPECIAL'; pod2usage( -verbose => $verbose, -message => $message_text, -sections => $sections, ); __END__ =head1 SYNOPSIS here's the main usage stuff =head1 SPECIAL special usage stuff here... =cut
