Re: Testing URIs in POD
Message ID:

Let this the POD from the (nonexistant) module Anything::URI:
=head1 NAME
Anything::URI
=SYNOPSIS
use Anything::URI;
my $url = 'http://www.example.tld';
do_anything_with($url);
...
In that case "http://www.example.tld" shouldn't be extracted and tested
as this is just an example...
Links to other resources should be tested, but not such examples.
Cheers,
Renee
