I've been looking for a few development tools and I can't seem to find them, but I strongly suspect they are there. Most relate to the static structure of perl modules - e.g. not "how often does this get called when you run the code?" but "how many places is this called from?"

Anyone got any CPAN ideas for modules which could...

cheers!
• ... edit my code and change names of a variable or subroutine, wherever it's referred to. (Obviously wouldn't catch stuff like eval '$' . 'foo';
• ... find uncalled subroutines in my packages. (I'd forget my head if it was loose.)
• ... build a pretty picture of which packages call which others. (UML?)
• ... warn me about private subroutines (sub _foo) being called from outside their class/subclasses
• ... do the ironing ...
• ... increase my attractiveness to women ...
