Like John, I don’t much care. I agree that Pod::Simple::Pod lacks necessary 
information. ExtractPod seems fine to me. Uh, though there is this:

perldoc [-h] [-D] [-t] [-u] [-m] [-l] [-F]
 [-i] [-V] [-T] [-r]
 [-d destination_file]
 [-o formatname]
 [-M FormatterClassName]
 [-w formatteroption:value]
 [-n nroff-replacement]
 [-X]
 [-L language_code]
 PageName|ModuleName|ProgramName|URL

So the formatter arg to -M would be:

 perldoc -M ExtractPod

Which also seems a little weird. Maybe Pod::Simple::PodFormat?


So make it -J JustPod, or is that parameter list sacrosanct?

Perhaps leave -M, and add -J, which defaults to a value of JustPod.

But is it organic? Or Biodynamic?

Pod::Simple::ExtractPod is good, but possible is Pod::Simple::JustPod.


With only a _tiny_ bit of my tongue in my cheek, I’ll throw out 
Pod::Simple::PlainOldPOD ...

I'm leaning towards Pod::Simple::JustPod.  I think that captures the 
essence, and seems to me to fit the paradigm of the output format.


If we wanted to be cute, we could call it Pod::Simple::SimplyPod, with 
you know, only one, natural, ingredient, and no harmful additives.
