+This is a specialized POD viewer to extract embedded tests and code
+examples from POD. It doesn't do much more than that. pod2test does the
+useful work.
+
+After creating a Pod::Tests object, you parse the POD by calling one of
+the available parsing methods documented below. You can call parse as many
+times as you'd like, all examples and tests found will stack up inside the
+object.
+
+Once extracted, the tests can be built into stand-alone testing code using
+the build_tests() and build_examples() methods. However, it is recommended
+that you first look at the pod2test program before embarking on this.
