Yeah, I'm writing an XML to Perl1. um thingy that takes an XML init file to say what elements relate to what functions in the second XML file. Since Dia can output to XML IIRC, it should be possible to create Perl from Dia, albeit a round-about route.

Although for my two-penneth, generated Perl is a bad idea2, generated C,C++, Python or Java are okay, because you have to write loads of stuff in those languages anyway.

  1. Yes this is generated Perl code, but it's not for me, it's for clients ;-)
  2. If you worked at Oven UK and see that as a major U-Turn, what can I say? I know better now.
