NAME
     basepods - print out pod paths for the standard perl
     manpages

DESCRIPTION
     This program uses your configuration's "installprivlib"
     directory to look up the full paths to those pod pages.  Any
     files in that directory whose names end in ".pod" will be
     printed to the standard output, one per line.  This is
     normally used in backticks to produce a list of filenames
     for other commands.

EXAMPLES
         $ podgrep typeglob `basepods`

         $ basepods | grep delt
         /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/pod/perl5004delta.pod
         /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/pod/perl5005delta.pod
         /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/pod/perldelta.pod

     You can also run this using alternate perl binaries, like
     so:

         $ oldperl -S basepods | grep delt
         /usr/lib/perl5/pod/perldelta.pod

         $ podgrep -i thread `filsperl basepods | grep delt`
         ....
