Parsing POD is pretty straight forward, cause the format is simple.

The real complication is parsing the corresponding Perl sub names.

Could you please give us more informations about what you are trying to achieve?

Unfortunately solutions in Perl are not very DRY (thats why I envy Python for stealing docstrings from Lisp)

For instance one of my last employers used a POD server which automatically parsed all installed modules to create CPAN like web-pages including TOCs listing each function/method.

Following the links you got the POD for each sub and the code was JS-folded in between.

Thats what you want? For instance this solution would imply switching from head1 to head2 in your POD.
