+podselect()
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<podselect()> is a function which will extract specified sections of
+pod documentation from an input stream. This ability is provided by the
+B<Pod::Select> module which is a subclass of B<Pod::Parser>.
+B<Pod::Select> provides a method named B<select()> to specify the set of
+POD sections to select for processing/printing. B<podselect()> merely
+creates a B<Pod::Select> object and then invokes the B<podselect()>
+followed by B<parse_from_file()>.
+
+=head1 SECTION SPECIFICATIONS
+
+B<podselect()> and B<Pod::Select::select()> may be given one or more
+"section specifications" to restrict the text processed to only the
+desired set of sections and their corresponding subsections. A section
+specification is a string containing one or more Perl-style regular
+expressions separated by forward slashes ("/"). If you need to use a
+forward slash literally within a section title you can escape it with a
+backslash ("\/").
+
+The formal syntax of a section specification is:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item
+
+I<head1-title-regex>/I<head2-title-regex>/...
+
+=back
+
+Any omitted or empty regular expressions will default to ".*".
+Please note that each regular expression given is implicitly
+anchored by adding "^" and "$" to the beginning and end. Also, if a
+given regular expression starts with a "!" character, then the
+expression is I<negated> (so C<!foo> would match anything I<except>
+C<foo>).
+
+Some example section specifications follow.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item
+Match the C<NAME> and C<SYNOPSIS> sections and all of their subsections:
+
+C<NAME|SYNOPSIS>
+
+=item
+Match only the C<Question> and C<Answer> subsections of the C<DESCRIPTION>
+section:
+
+C<DESCRIPTION/Question|Answer>
+
+=item
+Match the C<Comments> subsection of I<all> sections:
+
+C</Comments>
+
+=item
+Match all subsections of C<DESCRIPTION> I<except> for C<Comments>:
+
+C<DESCRIPTION/!Comments>
+
+=item
+Match the C<DESCRIPTION> section but do I<not> match any of its subsections:
+
+C<DESCRIPTION/!.+>
+
+=item
+Match all top level sections but none of their subsections:
+
+C</!.+>
+
+=back
+
+=begin _NOT_IMPLEMENTED_
+
+=head1 RANGE SPECIFICATIONS
+
+B<podselect()> and B<Pod::Select::select()> may be given one or more
+"range specifications" to restrict the text processed to only the
+desired ranges of paragraphs in the desired set of sections. A range
+specification is a string containing a single Perl-style regular
+expression (a regex), or else two Perl-style regular expressions
+(regexs) separated by a ".." (Perl's "range" operator is "..").
+The regexs in a range specification are delimited by forward slashes
+("/"). If you need to use a forward slash literally within a regex you
+can escape it with a backslash ("\/").
+
+The formal syntax of a range specification is:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item
+
+/I<start-range-regex>/[../I<end-range-regex>/]
+
+=back
+
+Where each the item inside square brackets (the ".." followed by the
+end-range-regex) is optional. Each "range-regex" is of the form:
+
+ =cmd-expr text-expr
+
+Where I<cmd-expr> is intended to match the name of one or more POD
+commands, and I<text-expr> is intended to match the paragraph text for
+the command. If a range-regex is supposed to match a POD command, then
+the first character of the regex (the one after the initial '/')
+absolutely I<must> be an single '=' character; it may not be anything
+else (not even a regex meta-character) if it is supposed to match
+against the name of a POD command.
+
+If no I<=cmd-expr> is given then the text-expr will be matched against
+plain textblocks unless it is preceded by a space, in which case it is
+matched against verbatim text-blocks. If no I<text-expr> is given then
+only the command-portion of the paragraph is matched against.
+
+Note that these two expressions are each implicitly anchored. This
+means that when matching against the command-name, there will be an
+implicit '^' and '$' around the given I<=cmd-expr>; and when matching
+against the paragraph text there will be an implicit '\A' and '\Z'
+around the given I<text-expr>.
+
+Unlike with section-specs, the '!' character does I<not> have any special
+meaning (negation or otherwise) at the beginning of a range-spec!
+
+Some example range specifications follow.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item
+Match all C<=for html> paragraphs:
+
+C</=for html/>
+
+=item
+Match all paragraphs between C<=begin html> and C<=end html>
+(note that this will I<not> work correctly if such sections
+are nested):
+
+C</=begin html/../=end html/>
+
+=item
+Match all paragraphs between the given C<=item> name until the end of the
+current section:
+
+C</=item mine/../=head\d/>
+
+=item
+Match all paragraphs between the given C<=item> until the next item, or
+until the end of the itemized list (note that this will I<not> work as
+desired if the item contains an itemized list nested within it):
+
+C</=item mine/../=(item|back)/>

+

+
+This method returns a list of the currently active section headings and
+subheadings in the document being parsed. The list of headings returned
+corresponds to the most recently parsed paragraph of the input.
+
+If an argument is given, it must correspond to the desired section
+heading number, in which case only the specified section heading is

+stored in the invoking object.
+
+If no C<$section_spec> arguments are given, then the existing set of

+processed. See <select()> for replacing the currently selected sections.
+
+Each of the C<$section_spec> arguments should be a section specification
