Perl POD embedded documentation example

Start all your Perl scripts this way. Then instead of writing documentation, generate documentation automatically; from comments embedded in the code.

Steve Oualline has another nice Perl POD example

How to generate Perl POD

Use pod2html myFile.pl to generate HTML documentation (like JavaDoc, RDoc or YUIDoc).

There's also pod2latex which does just what you would think ;-)

Or just use pod2text to generate plain text documentation.
