in reply to documentation generator? web-enabled perldoc?

The standard for Perl is POD, Plain Old Documentation. See the perlpod manpage that came with Perl. You can use pod2html to turn it into HTML, or various other pod2x programs to turn it into something else.

    yes, i'm aware that the standard is POD. there is more to documentation, or *can* be more to documentation, than POD.

      Perhaps you can describe what features POD is missing that you need, for those of us who aren't familiar with doxygen and friends?

        well, a few things that are missing:
        1. function references.
        2. lists of calling functions
        3. better context around functions ( line numbers, etc )
