ouch!  sorry you did all that by hand...  Gtk2 uses a tool to do it.  
the tool is not installed in such a way as to be shared; it's in (in 
cvs terms) /gtk2-perl-xs/Gtk2/tools/podifyenums.pl ... you call it like 
this:

   perl -MModule::To::Load podifyenums.pl Module::To::Document 
file_to_read

Module::To::Load and Module::To::Document are usually the same, and 
file_to_read should be a "maps" file, like the ones used for 
Gtk2::CodeGen.  for Gnome2, you'd do

  # in the Gnome2 source dir:
  perl -Mblib -MGnome2 /path/to/Gtk2/tools/podifyenums.pl Gnome2 maps > 
enums.pod

the Makefile.PL in Gtk2 contains a make rule to trigger this.  for true 
portability we'd probably have to copy the tool into Gnome2.
