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`
           ....
