Re: Using perl for refactoring

Helo,
would you be more specific, for instance, would you provide some minimal example?

I can imagine you want to get oriented graph, describing which file (module, library) uses something from which file. Or, seeing something like $instance->method(), you want to know in which module is method implemented - this second example is not generally solvable, coz it may depend on some input parameters and is resolved in runtime.

Hi Pajout Of course. The code I'm faced with is PHP, but I think Perl is probably more suited to the tasks such as this where text parsing is involved, hence the post here. The code I am looking at refactoring for a specific application is published open-source by Yubikey on Github, so the relevant files are as follows: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Yubico/yubikey-val/master/ykval-verify.php https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Yubico/yubikey-val/master/ykval-common.php https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Yubico/yubikey-val/master/ykval-synclib.php So synclib and common are the libraries, and verify is the main file.

Darn thing (searching for methods) is even more harder when a method name is a variable, possibly formed partially. Similarly problem is when subs are produced en masse or via AUTOLOAD.	[reply]
