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. Usu­ ally, 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.
