=head1 NAME
Pod::ParseLink -- Parse an L<> formatting code in POD text
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Pod::ParseLink;
my ($text, $inferred, $name, $section, $type) = parselink ($link);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module only provides a single function, parselink(), which takes the
text of an LE<lt>E<gt> formatting code and parses it. It returns the anchor
text for the link (if any was given), the anchor text possibly inferred from
the name and section, the name or URL, the section if any, and the type of
link. The type will be one of 'url', 'pod', or 'man', indicating a URL, a
link to a POD page, or a link to a Unix manual page.
Parsing is implemented per L<perlpodspec>. For backward compatibility,
links where there is no section and name contains spaces, or links where the
entirety of the link (except for the anchor text if given) is enclosed in
double-quotes are interpreted as links to a section (LE<lt>/sectionE<gt>).
The inferred anchor text is implemented per L<perlpodspec>:
L<name> => L<name|name>
L</section> => L<"section"|/section>
L<name/section> => L<"section" in name|name/section>
The name may contain embedded EE<lt>E<gt> and ZE<lt>E<gt> formatting codes,
and the section, anchor text, and inferred anchor text may contain any
formatting codes. Any double quotes around the name or section are removed
as part of the parsing, as are any leading or trailing whitespace.
No attempt is made to resolve formatting codes. The caller must be prepared
to do that either before or after calling parselink(). (This is because
interpretation of EE<lt>E<gt> formatting codes may vary by formatter.)
