True, but I understand it means the answer to "do you know any existing tool" is "no"..
From www.onjava.com I got this:
"CPD could be adapted to work with C, C++, PHP, Ruby, Perl, or any other language for which a tokenizer exists. There could be a runtime toggle to select which language to parse."

In case I can fit to the existed interface of CPD I won't need to develop a tool of my own.

I believe what they mean in tokenizer can be some kind of modified B::* module.
Am I on the right track ?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
