Hi, I have questions regarding perl hiliting, xrefing and prettyprinting. They all touch the issue how to handle perlcode in terms of presenting it:

(I develop under Linux using Emacs)

• For about 1,5 years I was looking (ok sporadically) for a way how to fold blocks (whole subroutines would be enough) in perl code in emacs. Yesterday I managed successfully the deployment of folding.el.
• For about the same period I look for various tools to present/prettyprint Perlcode. e.g. I would like to show some of my crafts on my Homepage, but I´m missing such a thing like global which does only support C,C++,Yacc and Java.

Does anyone know of a good source code tag system for Perl that is able to generate syntax hilited xrefs? Moreover a system (the same system?) that would be able to prettyprint perlcode?

Any hints and oracles appreciated. ;-)

Ciao
