As a quickie method I use the script from the FAQ; you have to  
install Class::Inspector:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Class::Inspector;
$class = shift || die "Usage: methods perl_class_name\n";
eval "require $class";
print join ("\n", sort @{Class::Inspector->methods 
($class,'full','public')}), "\n";

Works well, though doesn't have the links and so on like  
Deobfuscator; I use HTML-generated ActiveState docs:
