TODO Perl documentation question

From

While considering you're preparing for a new release this probably   isn't the best time for this question, however
Inoticed you have a    TODO item "Add documentation for perl, including mention of DBI/DBD    perl location".  Is this
stilloutstanding?       If so, I'd be happy to take on this item just let me know where you    want it in the
documentationtree.

Yes.

Basically, we looking for a way to tie in the perldoc-style documentation
with the DocBook sources.  One that is done, just add a sentence or three
about DBI/DBD.  Since we don't supply that driver nor control it, you
wouldn't want to get into too many details, just tell people that it's
there and where.

   There is pod2docbook on CPAN, have you looked into using that? Could   probably use that and a small perl script to
putin the proper chapter   ids, links to DBI/DBD on CPAN, and a small blurb into the   pod2docbook output. 
 
   Is this along the lines of what you're after?
