I've re-invented a few wheels myself, so I won't be too hard on you, but I think you would benefit from looking at DoxyFilt* (Doxygen for Perl) (You can see some samples here).

Also:

Analyzing large Perl code base.
Becoming familiar with a too-big codebase?

HTH,

* Update: 2005-12-28 Kudos to both john_oshea and tfrayner for alerting me to the fact that my link above has been rendered usless by the foul creatures known as spammers... I have found what appears to be a good link to obtain DoxyFilt; the most recent version seems to be from August 24, 2005: Doxygen-0.84.tar.gz. Thanks again, guys!
