This is wrong. Perldoc doesn't work for all of them. The only libraries installed by perl are in fact plugins (with an *.so extension). The rest of the stuff installed into /usr/lib/perl5 are mainly actual perl modules and scripts (with extension *.pl & *.pm). Documenting all those is not realistic IMHO.

I recommend this bug be closed.

Agreed, I see little gain of doing all this work and having to maintain it all too.
