I am working with a code written in at least three different languages. Two of these are parsed quite well by the inline documentaition/call-graph engine called doxygen (which seems to parse c-like code fairly well). I'd like to use doxygen for the perl components too, so all my docs can be managed in a single place.

Natively, the perl code isn't parsed well but I think with some serious munging the perl code could be made to look more c-like. The temporary, munged file would not have to actually be functional, just look like it to a c parser.

Has anyone already solved this problem in another context?

I'm sure the authors of doxygen would love to include a solution as a new helper. (hint hint) I'd love to take a crack at it, but it may be some time before I will be able to work on it.
