How to get Pod to return the defined documentation.
Here's the first part of my code
#  *  #  #  *  #  #  *  #  #  *  #  #  *  #  #  *  #  #  *  #  #  *  #  #  *  #  
# Initialize some modules in my program named t.pl

	use lib qw(/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/Pod );# Pod path at myProvider
	use Functions; #Pod module
	use Html; #Pod module
	use Text; #Pod module

	use CGI qw(:all);
	use CGI param;
	use English;
	use strict;			#must declare global variables
	use lib;
	use vars qw($stuff);
=pod
=head1  Mainline
=cut

#etc
#  *  #  #  *  #  #  *  #  #  *  #  #  *  #  #  *  #  #  *  #  #  *  #  #  *  #  

On the command line I issued the command:    pod2text t.pl
and it appears to do nothing.  I expect it to return the word "Mainline" on STDOUT

I tried looking for the manual too:
[cgi-bin]$ man pod2text
No manual entry for pod2text
