in reply to Programs/Methods for analyzing an existing Perl based system

A few months ago, I did post a code counter which does give a measure of density in terms of tokens per line. Although not designed for analysing perl, it can do so. The limitations with perl relate to token counting and the likes of regexs, heredocs and obscure quoting

Hopefully this can be of some use to you as a rough measure of code density and scale of effort required.
