On the other hand, there's not a one-to-one correspondence of Perl vs C level parameters, e.g.: - editor (or callback) + baton pairs in C are replaced by a single Perl callback (typically a closure) in Perl - svn_opt_revision_t arguments in C may be actually specified as numbers, strings ("HEAD"), date strings ("{12-04-2013}") or (unlikely) as _p_svn_opt_revision_t objects in Perl So it's as simple as "extract docstring from C header and reformat as POD".
