Package: libflickr-api-perl
Version: 1.28-1
Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/man/man1/flickr_dump_stored_config.1p.gz

The quote marks (") should be removed when making the SYNOPSIS for all
these man pages.

SYNOPSIS
       "flickr_dump_stored_config.pl [/path/to/file or
       --config_in=Config-File_to_dump]"

Also the .pl needs to be removed. As they are all installed without .pl:
$ ls /usr/bin/*.pl
ls: cannot access '/usr/bin/*.pl': No such file or directory
$ which flickr_make_test_values
/usr/bin/flickr_make_test_values

By the way also in e.g.,
/usr/share/doc/libflickr-api-perl/examples/flickr_method_test_echo.pl
perldoc renders

    Depending on what you specify with B<--use_api> the flickr.test.echo
    call will use the appropriate parameter set. If B<Flickr::API->new> is
    called with a consumer_key, OAuth is used. If B<Flickr::API->new> with
    key the old Flickr Authentication is used.

which is not what you want. You want the first > to be escaped...
