Hello all,

Are there any call graph tools for perl scripts?

I am looking to find out callers and callees of functions in my code. I am also trying to ensure that the code that I write does not have any undefined functions. I am using 5.6.0 on Solaris.

As far as I know, undefined functions don't trigger any warnings at compile- or run-time, until there is an attempt at run-time to invoke the function.

The following code will never trigger any messages, even though there is no function called &grabels_law_violated. 

    || #!/usr/bin/env perl
    || use 5.006;
    || use warnings;
    || use strict;
    || (2 == 3) ? &grabels_law_violated() : print "Whew!\n";
    || __END__

Thanks in advance.

peace,
