Hi All,
  I've been doing an awful lot of code recently. Updating a fairly large program (over 10,000 lines of perl). One of the big things I'm changing is the way variables are named and set in the configuration system and throughout the code.
I'm getting near the end of it, and I was about to write a script to check all the code (broken into several files) collect details on all the variables used how often they occur, where they occur, etc. So that I can quickly see if I've missed anything major or if some variables are misnamed, etc.
The thought occurred to me that this would make a useful tool for other people so I planned on making it into a CPAN module.
The further thought occurred that it seems like quite an obviously useful tool that someone else has probably already done something like it, and it's already on CPAN, but I just can't find it.


So I was hoping that someone here would know if something that does this exists and be able to point me to it.
