I have several modules that are the base for other modules. What I would like to do is generate POD documentation that compiles the subroutines/method sections for the SUPER classes with the modules that inherit it. This way I don't have to refer to different modules to look up documentation for inherited methods.

package FOO;

=pod

=head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS

=head2 foo_call()

=cut

package BAR;

#### In another file of course...
################################################
use base 'FOO'; 

=pod

=head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS

=head2 bar_call()

=cut

##############################################
# Generated pod has...

=head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS

=head2 foo_call()

=head2 bar_call()

I looked around and most of the POD modules out there refer to converting POD to another format and some stuff for making the POD into an object (so the tools are there to write my own). I was hoping that someone knew of a specific module that already did this. Any suggestions?
