if ($enum_def) {
    print "Enum Name: ", $enum_def->full_name, "
";
    for my $i (0 .. $enum_def->value_count - 1) {
        # Note: methods to get value details are on EnumValueDef
        # This example just shows count and name by index.
         print "  Value: ", $enum_def->value_name($i), "
";
    }
