Help for dprofpp

[ #23354 ]

It's always bugged me that there's never been a "dprofpp -h" where I can see the flags. I always have to do a "perldoc dprofpp" and scroll through the long man page.

So last night I wrote a patch for dprofpp that includes a usage summary and also displays the man page via the extremely handy Pod::Usage.

Patch is at http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/perl5-porters/2504200. You can probably apply it to your /usr/local/bin/dprofpp directly if you like. You'll get some warnings about line offsets, but that's it.
