in thread Someone please verify this.

I think the Verilog::VCD module is just a VCD parser. Is there any module out there that can make creating VCDs easier? Thanks.

    You are right... Verilog::VCD can only be used to parse VCD files. It can not create a VCD file. I am not aware of any CPAN module which can create a VCD file. This looks like an opportunity for you to contribute.

    Why do you need Perl code to create a VCD file? All Verilog simulators can create VCD files.

      Thanks for your reply. I do have a requirement to create a VCD from a dump of values (a set of samples captured from an on chip memory) -- so that it is better from readability/debug point of view. Hopefully, when i am done with my script, i can contribute some CreateVCD module -- lets see :) Thanks.
