-# Description:
-# Parse adif file, if a contact has one or more POTA_REF entries (delimited by
-# a comma), add SIG POTA and SIG_INFO with reference. Multiply contact such,
-# that every POTA_REF entry is a separate contact with own SIG_INFO.
-# Extendet adif file will be printed to stdout.

-# Usage:
-# adif-pota2sig.pl logfile.adi > new-logfile.adi

+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<adif-pota2sig> will read an adif file, if a contact has one or more POTA_REF
+entries (delimited by a comma), add SIG POTA and SIG_INFO with reference.
+Multiply contact such, that every POTA_REF entry is a separate contact with own
+SIG_INFO. Extendet adif file will be printed to stdout or a file.
+
+If used with B<-r> and B<-t> options a number of files with contents described
+above will be created. On file for each POTA reference. For output filenames
+see B<-t>.
