I was figuring that a Java port would be interesting, at least
from the architectural viewpoint.
Which brings me to 2 another issues:
1) Is there/can there be a design document for LWP?
i.e. something showing what design decisions were made,
the inheritence employed etc.
2) Anyone know of a tool to cross-reference Perl programs?
ie. to show module couplimg, what gets used from where etc?
- a braindead implementation is easy - you just grep for
names of subroutines. A more reliable implementation is
more tricky and would involve building a perl parser.
Of course, if we are going to have a perl parser it is
better to be able to tap into the one already built into
Perl... would the structure of the innards of current perls
allow us to do this? Is there a perl module that does parsing
(none lept out at me when I looked)
Okay, responses appreciated,
Cheers,
Martin.
