[Legal::Complicated]DESCRIPTION
This plugin is aimed at distributions that have several files, each of them with possibly different authors, copyright owners and licenses.
It will look for these values in comments of the source code (analyzed through a ppi_document) with the following form:
# AUTHOR: John Doe <john.doe@otherside.com>
# AUTHOR: Mary Jane <mary.jane@thisside.com>
# OWNER: 2001-2005 University of Over Here
# OWNER: 2012 Mary Jane
# LICENSE: GPL_3This example would generate the following POD:
=head2 AUTHORS
John Doe <john.doe@otherside.com>
Mary Jane <mary.jane@thisside.com>
=head2 COPYRIGHT
