output is used. If ">&2" or ">&STDERR" is used then
standard error is used.
-verbose level
The desired level of verbosity to use:
1 : print SYNOPSIS only

-pathlist dirlist
Specifies one or more directories to search for the
input file if it was not supplied with an absolute
path. Each directory path in the given list should
be separated by a ':' on Unix (';' on MSWin32 and
DOS).
file The pathname of a file containing pod documentation
to be output in usage mesage format (defaults to
standard input).
DESCRIPTION
pod2usage will read the given input file looking for pod
documentation and will print the corresponding usage mes-
sage. If no input file is specified then standard input is
read.
pod2usage invokes the pod2usage() function in the Pod::Usage
module. Please see "pod2usage()" in Pod::Usage.
