##
#
# This is an attamept to write a basic parser for Perl's
# POD (Plain old Documentation) format.  Ruby code must
# co-exist with Perl, and some tasks are easier in Perl
# than Ruby because of existing libraries.
#
# One difficult is that Perl POD has no means of identifying
# the classes (packages) and methods (subs) with which it
# is associated, it is more like literate programming in so
# far as it just happens to be in the same place as the code,
# but need not be.
#
# We would like to support all the markup the POD provides
# so that it will convert happily to HTML.  At the moment
# I don't think I can do that: time constraints. 
#

    end
  end

  ##
  # Extract the Pod(-like) comments from the code.
  # At its most basic there will ne no need to distinguish
  # between the different types of header, etc.
  #
  # This uses a simple finite state machine, in a very
  # procedural pattern. I could "replace case with polymorphism"
  # but I think it would obscure the intent, scatter the
  # code all over tha place.  This machine is necessary
  # because POD requires that directives be preceded by
  # blank lines, so reading line by line is necessary, 
  # and preserving state about what is seen is necesary.
