This question has been asked before.

Check the Q&A answer about UML diagrams here.

Perl isn't as advanced on OO modelling as C++/Java are, which have dozens of tools. Once I wanted to try the AutoDia tool under Windows and couldn't install it. If I'll have to draw class diagrams for my Perl code, I think I'll just take a regular UML modelling tool and draw diagrams by hand.

Could you provide your links to other stuff on Perl Monks not with <a href="http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=167834">this</a> but with [id://167834|that] or even just [167834|that].

Your way doesn't work for monks that use www.perlmonks.com, as you loose your logged-in status when switching from .com to .org.

It'd be very hard for Perl since it is weakly typed. Suppose an object is implemented using a hash, how can you determine the type of the attributes? Similarly, what are the arguments to a method?

Another point: methods can parse their arguments using shift(@_) or by filling a local hash, again it's almost impossible to figure out what's going on automatically.

Just my 2 cents, -gjb-
