LOL, wow, I always wondered what that folder of files were for...
At this point, it would be a bit of a pain to start using that way to generate the perl export files again. Doing them manually is really quick and easy though. Sounds like if someone wanted a particular function to be exported and didn't know how to write it themselves, they could just use that script and then pull out just the 1 function they are wanting and add that to the normal perl_client.cpp manually.
By making them manually, you get more flexibility and can set defaults if the function doesn't already have them and make optional fields in the commands. Another nice thing about doing them manually is that the function itself can be changed in the source without having to change the order of the arguments in the perl function, so you don't mess up existing quest scripts.
Maybe I should run that script and see how well it works. Might make it easy to add a bunch of the lesser needed functions from mob/client/npc. Then just merge in the stuff that doesn't exist already.
