NAME
     pl2pm - Rough tool to translate Perl4 .pl files to Perl5 .pm
     modules.

SYNOPSIS
     pl2pm files

DESCRIPTION
     pl2pm is a tool to aid in the conversion of Perl4-style .pl
     library files to Perl5-style library modules.  Usually, your
     old .pl file will still work fine and you should only use
     this tool if you plan to update your library to use some of
     the newer Perl 5 features, such as AutoLoading.

LIMITATIONS
     It's just a first step, but it's usually a good first step.
