=item B<--version>

=item B<--html>

Output HMTL fragment instead of ANSI terminal escapes.

=head1 USE

Provide input on stdin to B<perlhl> to highlight it to stdout with ANSI colour
escapes.

    perlhl < script.pl

It is not recommended to provide multiple files on stdout, since they'll be
concatenated. This makes it impossible to know where one ends and the next
begins, and will yield inferior syntax highlighting results. To highlight
multiple files, provide filenames on the command line:

    perlhl lib/My/Module.pm lib/My/Module/Again.pm

Provide the B<--html> option to output an HTML fragment. In
the future, this option might print a whole valid document.

There is a one-liner that can do something comparable:

    perl -MText::Highlight -E 'my $h = Text::Highlight->new(ansi => 1);
    > my $text = do { local $/; open my $fh, "<", $ARGV[0]; <$fh> };
    > say $h->highlight("Perl", $text);
    > ' bin/perlhl
