Pod::ParseTree::append

• To test my change, I created a local Pod directory

  • Copied Pod/InputObjects.pm into it

  • Modified my Pod/InputObjects.pm

  • Then ran:

     % perl -I. `which pod2man` < perlfunc.pod > append-after.out

• Preliminary results:

  • Correctness:

     % cmp perlfunc.man append-after.out

• Timing:

        Before                  After

        real    0m26.232s       real    0m22.225s
        user    0m24.520s       user    0m20.870s
        sys     0m0.420s        sys     0m0.490s 

• I also reran the Pod:: test suite to make sure I didn't break anything

• End of digression
