I like DocPerl and I think it's got some very nice features, but I don't particularly like the way it's implemented: generating all of the documentation on demand is extremely inefficient, especially when there is a lot of documentation or a lot of users. Is DocPerl capable of creating static HTML pages that can be re-created once in a while, rather than every time the documentation is viewed?

The answer is yes, checksetup.pl script will can create all the documentation inadvance use the command:
$ ./checksetup.pl -c pod
Note this will out put lots of error messages as a lot of perl modules do not have correctly formatted POD and some have no POD at all.
