If you're working on a POD document and you want to upload it as a GitHub gist, just add the following to the top:
#!/usr/bin/env perl use App::gist; @ARGV = $0; App::gist->run;
... and mark the POD file as executable. Then run it. (Many programmers' text editors have a built-in command or hotkey to execute the current file.) Yay, it's uploaded to GitHub as a gist. This should give you a numeric gist identifier. Change the third line to:
@ARGV = ('-u', 412345, $0); # or whatever identifier
Now executing the file will update the existing gist in place.
Yet another reason to use POD over another markup language. :-)
