Thanks for the response. I checked these out but looks like Umbrello is just a diagram editor and would not generate code from UML; same with dia and autodia; dia2code generates code all right but it generates code in multiple languages - all except Perl !! :( Any suggesstions?

Any suggesstions?

• http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdesdk/umbrello/umbrello/codegenerators/perl/perlwriter.h?view=markup
• http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdesdk/umbrello/umbrello/codegenerators/perl/perlwriter.cpp?view=markup
• http://psn.sourceforge.net/developers_guide.php says Dia2Code didn't support Perl, so we added a plugin to it that generates appropriate code. so ask http://sourceforge.net/projects/psn/support where their dia2code generate_code_perl.c file is.
• generate_code_python.c and the others look short and simple enough to modify into generate_code_perl.c yourself, perhaps using Any::Moose as per Modern Perl

I doubt that a 10-year-old node will give much info for the OP ... unfortunately I don't have any other information. But I'm hoping other monks have ;-)

Why not? Software doesn't die :) Both Dia, Autodia, Dia2code, are still around

Use yEd/Umbrello/Dia/UML Pad... to draw a diagram, then use

ummf -e perl -o gen test/test1.xmi

To generate Perl code in directory gen from test/test1.xmi.

Actually, you'll want to try ArgoUML with ummf

that was a helpful tip. thanks! Just have one more question on this tip - i downloaded that module UMMF from CPAN - i did not find any executable named ummf in that download. The syntax for using that driver is shown like running an exe named ummf with a parameter -e. Should I build that executable using make or something? Pls help.
