Re: Graph your Perl inheritance structure

[ZZamboni]

This is very neat. I have made a patch (see below) that:

• Makes it ignore POD lines.
• Makes it deal with multi-line @ISA declarations such as:

  @ISA=qw(class1
          class2);
  

  Of course, the only foolproof way to get @ISA would be to load the package and examine its value, but this seems to work OK.

For an example of a graph generated by this program, see this graph, which corresponds to the implementation of this project. :-)
