in thread ebrowse-like emacs feature for Perl ?

From the ECB FAQ, the Perl support sounds luke warm at best, and Semantic doesn't list it as one of the supported languages.

Did you actually use ECB with Perl? And if so, how? (imenu? etags?) And how well did it work? Was it difficult to set up?

    I want to say imenu, but again this was over a year ago and I don't see anything conclusive in my vestigial .xemacs files. Likewise I vaguely recall having to do a little work to get things going, but on the order of an hour or two not days. As for how well it worked, for the most part it found subs and packages pretty well (again, foggy memory here). It worked well enough I had a permanent keybinding set aside for it, at least. :)

      Imenu support for Perl is quite good, but it only works within the current single file. It looks like ECB might be able to use this to index many files, but I haven't used it in years.
