As shipped in IRIX 6.5.5. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.

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.
