in thread UML for PERL?

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.

    Dia2Code exists (as well as AutoDia if one is interested in round-trip): should be easy enough to add a Perl "plugin" for it.

      Has anyone written a plugin to create perl code? I'm curious since I might write something of the sort if not, but don't want to if something someone else has already done so and is willing to share.
