+=head1 NAME
+
+generate.pl
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+generate.pl is a little helper script to reinitalize the Dockerfiles from a YAML file.
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+generate.pl is meant to be run from the actual repo directory, with a Releases.yaml file
+correctly configured.  It starts with a 'releases' key, which contains a list of releases,
+each with the following keys:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item version
+
+The actual perl version, such as B<5.20.1>.
+
+=item sha1
+
+The SHA-1 of the C<.tar.bz2> file for that release.
+
+=item pause
+
+The PAUSE (CPAN user) account that the release was uploaded to.
+
+=item (optionally) extra_args
+
+Additional text to pass to C<Configure>.  At the moment, this is necessary for
+5.18.x so that it can get the C<-fwrapv> flag.
