in thread Perl Cross References

Hi,

it's the 25% that bite us (both):

rj@pollux:~/_ELRIC/implementation/src/examples> perl -MO=Xref -we 1 File -e Subroutine (definitions) Package UNIVERSAL &VERSION s0 &can s0 &isa s0 Package attributes &bootstrap s0 -e syntax OK
and - btw. B::XRef works "good" for all smaller scripts I call it on as long as they aren't complicated and ~ 50 lines of code not more. Even then:
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i586-l +inux/B/Xref.pm line 117. Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/lib/perl5/5. +6.1/i586-linux/B/Xref.pm line 124. Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i586-l +inux/B/Xref.pm line 117. Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/lib/perl5/5. +6.1/i586-linux/B/Xref.pm line 124. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib/ +perl5/5.6.1/i586-linux/B/Xref.pm line 130. Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i586-l +inux/B/Xref.pm line 117. etc. etc. (cut for node readability) Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/lib/perl5/5. +6.1/i586-linux/B/Xref.pm line 124. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib/ +perl5/5.6.1/i586-linux/B/Xref.pm line 130. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib/ +perl5/5.6.1/i586-linux/B/Xref.pm line 130.
Ugly isn't it? But after that the references spill out. So one must say: unusable for larger projects. Who needs cross references on small scripts???

Update:

I thought B::Xref spills out human readable output by default (no params).. :-) Is this considered human readable?

Subroutine deflate Package (lexical) $$eref 51 $@$$eref 56 $@$@$$eref 60 $@$@$@$$eref 65 $@$@$@$@$$eref 70 $eref i50, 51 $i i55, 56, 59, 59, 55, 70, 71 $inner i60, 62, 63, 64, 55, 69 $j i59, 60, 65, 66, 67, 59 $key i49 $outer i56, 62, 63, 64, 55, 69 $size i51, 66, 59, 55, 71 @$$eref 51, 56 @$@$$eref 56, 60 @$@$@$$eref 60, 65 @$@$@$@$$eref 65, 70 @$@$@$@$@$$eref 70 Package main @_ 49, 50

    You're right, things are worse than I thought. And yes, cross-referencing usage starts from large ammount of code.

    Anyway, did you tried latest perl (5.8.0-RC1)?
    Just curious.
    Also, thank you for your experience, with your help I will be careful when will be planning using any compiler stuff.

    PS. Something fishy is going on there, or my name is Vadim Konovalov. And it's not.
