After reading the SDF documentaion it looks a very interesting 
alternative to POD: even more usable than POD, an way more powerfull.

Unfortunately, I was unable to run SDF on my computer (I keep getting 
a nasty out-of-memory error), and the project looks a bit unmantained 
right now, (I had to download it from CPAN, because the link pages 
are broken).

Does anyone have any experience with SDF?
