Don't create dfilter2pod from dfilter2pod.in just for @PERL_PATH@; it's
a waste of time. Instead, set $(PERL) to @PERL_PATH@ in the Makefile and
call dfilter2pod.pl via $(PERL) $(src_dir)/dfilter2pod.pl
In this revision doc/dfilter2pod.pl was created from doc/dfilter2pod.in
(which was actually deleted in the subsequent r2172).
Looking at *that* file's revision history shows that it was created in r372:

Don't depend on Perl being in "/usr/bin/perl"; find it, and generate a
"dfilter2pod" with the path of Perl in its "#!" line.
In this revision doc/dfilter2.pod.in was created from doc/dfilter2pod .
Looking at *that* file's revision history shows that it was created in r364:

Modified the proto_register_field_array usage again. Thanks to Guy's
suggestion, this new method using a static array should use less memory
and be faster. It also has a nice side-effect of making the source-code
more readble, IMHO.
Changed the print routines to look for protocol proto_data instead of
looking at the text label as they did before, hoping that the data hex
dump field item starts with "Data (".
Added the -G keyword to ethereal to make it dump a glossary of display
filter keywords to stdout and exit. This data is then formatted with
the doc/dfilter2pod perl program to pod format, which is combined
with doc/ethereal.pod.template to create doc/ethereal.pod, from which
the ethereal manpage is created. This way we can keep the manpage up-to-date
with a list of fields that can be filtered on.
So, despite the convoluted history, the script still appears to have
been created by Gilbert.
