I'm going to assume that you weren't ignorant about POD (perlpod, perlpodspec, perldoc and the many Pod:: modules) when you wrote this, so I wonder: what didn't you like about POD that made you roll your own?
Makeshifts last the longest.
Comment on Re: DocTool.pl: additional Perl Documentation?
I don't like to do extra work as writing a novel how the program works.
POD is plain extra text outside the program. My inf.-tags are very easy to write 'on the fly' while programming. Those things I do anyway.
