Perl/doxygen Links

I've looked for Perl/doxygen support before.

In all my searching I only found one script (see below), which I used as the basis for my first effort in this regard.

Prior to releasing this beta (?) version of the code I did a search with the awesome Copernic product. I didn't go into too much depth, so I may have missed some options, but things didn't look any better than before.

Official Mention

The doxygen site listed translation tools for:

  • Java
  • JavaScript
  • Object Pascal (Delphi)
  • PHP
  • Python
  • Visual Basic

Hey, whaddyaknow, half the tools are actually written in Perl. You expected what, COBOL? Still, no Perl-to-doxygen conversion scripts are listed.

Under the doxygen "to do" list hides the phlegmatic:

27 Add support to parse/document other languages.  Suggested are:  C#, Python, Perl, PHP, Flex, Yacc, SQL, Visual Basic, Fortran, and Objective C. not implemented

(italics are mine). No joy here either.

But hark! a surprise hides deep in the site. There is, not an input portal for Perl to doxygen, but an output portal from doxygen to a huge Perl data structure. The intrepid user can use Perl to generate from the doxygen structure any output desired. Will wonders never cease? But still no help here.

Perl6 Internals

I found an example program on the Perl6 Internals site.
