Perl documentation Generator Can't Post
Hello all,

Can anyone recommend a perl documentation generator?

1. Select a perl script.
2. parses the script
3. documents all code...

I searched the net and found this:
http://www.naturaldocs.org/

Any help would be appreciated.

What do you mean by:
Quote
3. documents all code...
If your code isn't already documented, then you're out of luck.

If you used POD documentation in the script, then you could use the pod2html module to create a html page of the documentation. Or you could use pod2pdf to create a pdf file.

http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.9/pod/pod2html.PL
http://search.cpan.org/~jonallen/pod2pdf-0.42/bin/pod2pdf

If you used regular comment lines, then you could write a simple 1 liner that filters and outputs all comment lines.
