Here's a fix for that.  It's just more heuristics, so it isn't perfect.

In a related vein, this still leaves

    Getopt::Long(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatiGetopt::Long(3pm)

in the page header on my system.  "User Contributed Perl Documentation"
is just too long.  Would anybody mind replacing this with something
shorter?  Say

    Getopt::Long(3pm)         User Perl Docs        Getopt::Long(3pm)

or

    Getopt::Long(3pm)      Wankel Rotary Engine     Getopt::Long(3pm)

or even

    Getopt::Long(3pm)                               Getopt::Long(3pm)

I'm partial the last of these, myself, but I'd be happy with anything
less than about 20 characters.  Patch happily supplied if nobody
objects.
