A more complicated example would be to retrieve your favorite portfolio document and boost the content ratio by surgically removing the ads and dropping news headlines if all you are interested in is the pretty table.
Man Page CGI
I wrote it to gets around the problem of keeping separate versions of POD in both manpage and html forms. manpage.cgi NG will obviously use perl5 techniques, CGI.pm, get all the right sections for your OS, and give perldoc a try if your man can't find it.
One thing I have noticed is that there are several name brand OSes out there that have really lame man page management problems. Most center around the 'makewhatis' program, which BSDI managed to do the right thing and write it in perl! Not mentioning any names but one company (Sun) uses sed and another (HP) uses a compiled C program (no source, of course) with a sed script.
BSDI also has a way-cooler version of my lame-O one on all of their systems. Check it out.
