I've managed to do the following: 
#!/usr/bin/perl 

# Script to add comments for Natural Doc. http://www.naturaldoc.org

use strict;
use warnings;

use Tie::File;

use Data::Dumper;


my $file;
open $file, "searchfs.c" or die $!;
my $data = join("", <$file>);
close $file;

my $data_with_comment = "";
my $rest = "";
while ( $data =~ /(.*?)\n((?:\w+\*?\*?\s+)+)(\*?\w+\s*)\s*\((.*?)\)(\s
+*\{)/gsx ) {

    $rest = $data;
    #print $rest;
    #sleep 4;
    my $code_before = $1;
    my $code_after = $5;
    $data_with_comment .= $code_before;

    my ( $functype, $funcname, $funcarg ) = ( $2, $3, $4 );
    my @funcargs = split /,\s*/, $funcarg;
    #print "found function def:\n type=$functype\n name=$funcname\n ar
+gs=";
    #print join( "\n   ", @funcargs ), "\n";

    my $args  =  join( ", ", @funcargs );
    my $args2 =  join( "\n *  ", @funcargs );
    #$data_with_comment .= "\n";
    $data_with_comment .= qq{
/* Function: $funcname($args)
 *
 * 
 *
 * Arguments:
 *  $args2
 *
 * Returns:
 *  $functype
 *
 */
};
    #print join( "\n   ", @funcargs ), "\n";

    $data_with_comment .= $2 . $3 . "(" . $4 . ")";

    $data_with_comment .= $code_after;
}

print $data_with_comment;

which works nice exept that after the last match, I dont get the rest of the code! Is there a way to save the rest and add it last somehow? Or anything else that solves this?

Thanks,
Ace
