This is a sub I use as part of a man.cgi app, an interface to look up perl docs. 
use strict;
use Pod::Simple::Search;
use constant DEBUG => 0;

for (qw(CGI.pm File::PathInfo HTML/Template.pm Smart::Comments)){
    my $name = $_;
    my $returned = lookup_as_perl($name);
    print " ARG: $name = $returned\n";
}


sub lookup_as_perl {
    my $arg_name = shift;
    print STDERR "lookup_as_perl() $arg_name, " if DEBUG; 
    $arg_name=~s/^\/+//; # take out leading slashes
    $arg_name=~s/\/+/\:\:/g;
    $arg_name=~s/\.html$|\.pod$|\.pm$//;
    $arg_name=~s/\/+/\:\:/g;    
    print STDERR "cleaned to $arg_name, " if DEBUG;     
    
    #can we find this?
    my $search = Pod::Simple::Search->new;
    my $result = $search->find($arg_name);

    $result ||= 0;
    
    print STDERR  "result = $result\n" if DEBUG;
    
    return $result;    
}
