in reply to cscope & perl

The magic that I didn't see on this thread is how to invoke cscope to build the database: 

find /home/troc/project/foo -name '*.pl' -o -name '*.pm' -o -name '*.t
+' | grep -v blib | cscope -b -q -i -

I read on the web that cscope only pays attention to C-style file extensions unless you find and include specific files yourself.

    Might be a bit easier to do: 

    ack -f --perl | cscope -b -q -i -

    Having done that, my editor doesn't take cscope output - but it does tack ctags output, so same idea: 
    ack -f --perl | ctags -L -

    If you don't have ack, you should. It's written in perl, and is way easier to use than grep, with way more functionality.
