Dear Monks,

I have a .pl file which was done by perl trainers.

I need to write the code to validate the .pl file which was done by perl trainers.

The following are I have to write code to validate them.

  • 1. Find the unncessary grouping. i.e. 
    $a=~s#(foo)(bar)#$1#;

    [download]
    Here first group only given in replace, but second group not in replace. So It'll eat memory unnecessarily.
  • 2. If variable declared, but not in use anywhere. It'll show.
  • 3. If there is a subroutine, but it'll not call anywhere, It'll show.
  • ...
  • ...

    I need to validate these things in my coding. Please give if there is any short way or any modules.

    Thanks in Advance.
