Count Perl Code

I've started working on a module to analyze perl code report of files, lines, packages, subroutines, etc.

A report could look like this:

% analyze.pl path/to/directory/of/perl/code

files:     39
lines:     15929
packages:  39
subs:      336

The module is (very tentively) named Perl::Code::Analyze and uses
Adam Kennedy's PPI module for the real work.

A (very) alpha version of the module is at
http://g5-imac.matisse.net/~matisse/Perl-Code-Analyze-0.01

Here's an example of a script that would use Perl::Code::Analyze
to produce the report shown above:


#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Perl::Code::Analyze;
my $analzyer = Perl::Code::Analyze->new;

my $analysis = $analzyer->analyze_files(@ARGV);

my $file_count = $analysis->file_count;
my $package_count = $analysis->package_count;
my $sub_count = $analysis->sub_count;
my $lines = $analysis->lines;

print <<"EOS";

files: $file_count
lines: $lines
packages: $package_count
subs: $sub_count

EOS

exit;
