I can look into it. No promises though, it has been a long time since I look at Perl code. I understand the logic of grouping the documentation in logical blocks. It is unfortunate though that this means the enum and documentation won't match, which makes reading the code harder. In this particular case I don't see the order of the documentation broken because flags are being grouped. Thanks for the review :) Luis
