Have you checked using perldoc -o <file_type> -d <destination_file> ... .I use to have an old script written with this that works like 80% - 85% of the time browsing the pod files documentation for information and output as html. See below, the following might help:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Carp qw(croak);
use Readonly;
Readonly my $space => q{ }; #a single space
croak " Usage pperldoc <option> docname " unless @ARGV == 1 or @ARGV =
+= 2;
# initialized the value of $ARGV[0] and [1], in-case no value was give
+n
$ARGV[0] //= $space;
$ARGV[1] //= $space;
my $first_arugment = $ARGV[0];
my $second_arugment = $ARGV[1];
if ( $first_arugment =~ m/^-/ ) { # check flag for first arugment
if ( $second_arugment ne $space ) {
# check second arugment were other character
if ( $second_arugment !~ m/[a-z]+?/i ) {
my $special_name = transform_doc_name($second_arugment);
system(
qq{ perldoc -o html -d ${special_name}.html $first_arugment $second_ar
+ugment}
);
}
else {
system(
qq{ perldoc -o html -d ${second_arugment}.html $first_arugment $second
+_arugment}
);
}
}
else { croak "Please specify docname" }
}
elsif ( $first_arugment !~ m/^-/ ) { # check flag for first arugmen
+t
# check first arugment if module has double full colon
if ( $first_arugment =~ m/.+?::.+?/ ) {
( my $doc_new_name = $first_arugment ) =~ y/::/_/s;
system(qq{ perldoc -o html -d ${doc_new_name}.html $first_arug
+ment});
}
else {
system(qq{ perldoc -o html -d ${first_arugment}.html $first_ar
+ugment});
}
}
sub transform_doc_name {
my ($doc) = @_;
$doc = 'perl_lingo';
return $doc;
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
