SYNOPSIS

	   use Pod::Index::Entry;

	   my $entry =	Pod::Index::Entry->new(
	       keyword	=> 'constructors',
	       podname	=> 'perlobj',
	       line	=> 42,
	       filename => '/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/pod/perlobj.pod',
	       context	=> 'Using POD',
	   );

	   # trivial accessors
	   my $podname	= $entry->podname;
	   my $filename = $entry->filename;
	   my $line	= $entry->line;
	   my $context	= $entry->context;
	   my $keyword	= $entry->keyword;

	   # extract the POD for this entry
	   my $pod	= $entry->pod;

DESCRIPTION

       This class represents a POD index entry. An entry is defined by the podname/filename, line number, and context. The entry object also has
       the ability to extract the POD "scope" from the filename.

METHODS

       new
	       my $q = Pod::Index::Entry->new(%args);

	   Create a new search object. Possible arguments are:

	   podname
	       The name of the pod, such as .

	   filename
	       The filename for the pod, such as Data/Dumper.pm.

	   line
	       The line number where the scope of this entry begins.

	   context
	       The title of the section that contains this entry.

       podname
       filename
       line
       context
	   These are just simple accessors that return the value of these properties, as given to the constructor.

       pod Extracts the POD for the scope of the entry from $self->filename, beginning at $self->line. For a definition of scope, see Pod::Index.
	   The POD extraction is delegated to the Pod::Index::Extract module.
