NAME
   Module::Install::ReadmeMarkdownFromPod - create README.mkdn from POD

SYNOPSIS
       # in Makefile.PL
       use inc::Module::Install;
       name 'Some-Module';
       readme_markdown_from 'lib/Some/Module.pm';

DESCRIPTION
   Module::Install::ReadmeMarkdownFromPod is a Module::Install extension
   that generates a "README.mkdn" file automatically from an indicated file
   containing POD whenever the author runs "Makefile.PL". This file is used
   by GitHub to display nicely formatted information about a repository.

FUNCTIONS
   "readme_markdown_from"
       Does nothing on the user-side. On the author-side it will generate a
       "README.mkdn" file using Pod::Markdown from the POD in the file
       passed as a parameter.

           readme_markdown_from 'lib/Some/Module.pm';

       If a second parameter is set to a true value then the "README.mkdn"
       will be removed at "make distclean".

           readme_markdown_from 'lib/Some/Module.pm' => 'clean';

       It will die unless a file name is given.

   "readme_markdown_from_pod"
       Like "readme_markdown_from" but assumes that "all_from" has been
       called before and uses the filename stored there to generate the
       "README.mkdn". It then calls "readme_markdown_from" with that
       filename. If this function is given an optional boolean parameter,
       that will be passed to "readme_markdown_from" as well, indicating
       whether to clean up the generated "README.mkdn" file at "make
       distclean" time.

   "readme_from_pod"
       Like "readme_markdown_from_pod", but affects the plain-text "README"
       file generation done in Module::Install::ReadmeFromPod. This
       function would be better placed in that module and might move there
       eventually. It is given here as a convenience because if you want to
       generate both "README" and "README.mkdn" you can do this here
       without repeating the filename given in "all_from".

   "reference_module"
       A utility function that saves you from repeatedly naming a reference
       module from which to extract information.

           reference_module 'lib/Some/Module.pm';

       is equivalent to:

           all_from 'lib/Some/Module.pm';
           readme_from 'lib/Some/Module.pm';
           readme_markdown_from 'lib/Some/Module.pm';

       It will die unless a file name is given. Note that
       "reference_module" will not work with Shipit::Step::FindVersion
       because that module is looking for a "version_from" or "all_from"
       string in "Makefile.PL"
