Re: Extract subroutines from a Perl script. OR: "Only perl can parse Perl." But can it help me to do so?

[samtregar]

To make a long story short, is there an easy way (module or whatever) to easily extract subroutines from a Perl script using a Perl script?

To make a long answer short, no. Perl is a context-sensitive language which defies any attempt to write a simple parser. You'll either have to settle for something simple that doesn't handle edge cases or something complex that does.
