This is actually a Pod::Simple::RTF subclass, and inherits all its options. You have to have Pod::Simple::RTF installed (from the Pod::Simple dist), or this module won't work. If Perldoc is running under MSWin and uses this class as a formatter, the output will be opened with F or whatever program is specified in the environment variable C. For example, to specify that RTF files should be opened the same as they are when you double-click them, you would do C in your F. Handy tip: put C in your F and that will set this class as the default formatter to run when you do C. =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L =head1 COPYRIGHT AND DISCLAIMERS Copyright (c) 2002 Sean M. Burke.
