I wrote a script like that. It's available here:

http://www.bahnhof.se/~johanl/perl/perl_summary/perl_summary.pl.txt

This is a typical output when $ARGV1 doesn't contain an output file: 

*** MODULES ***
Total used: 45

-- SKIP MODULE LIST --


No files: 33

*** LINES ***
Source (total): 12094
    Code + POD: 9101 (75%)
          Code: 6090 (50%)
           POD: 3011 (24%) (33% of code + POD lines)
 Comments left: 183 ( 1%) of source
  Comments EOL: 408 ( 6%) of code
    Whitespace: 6004 (49%)
     Size (Kb): 216

If you provide an output file, you can run it daily and open the file in Execel and create a progress diagram over time.

All available disclaimers apply, it's second time it left my computer today :) If you find it usefull, fine. If not, fine. I'm sure ther are stuff to improve.
