Hello!

I've been trying to figure out a way to use UML to describe a perl based project and then spit out modules, this is possible through ummf which is available at sourceforge.net

i know of a couple of modules that allow for reverse engineering of perl modules into uml, which seems fairly cool

i am fairly new to all this, but it really intrigues me, if someone could give me some helpful starters, book recommendations , documents, and of course example code :) id be ever so grateful

does anyone think this is a good practice to use this? it seems like you could take a specification's UML diagrams and spit out code pretty fast. Any thoughts on this?

we can pick apart the idea of using uml over makemaker and h2xs as well!!!

I await your wisdom

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
