Perl-Metrics

Great thanks again Hal - I didn't realise it would be so quick!

It looks like perl-metrics will be great for TWiki (http://twiki.org). We'd use TWiki's web environment to allow perl-metrics to be called from within a webpage.

So, one would write in a page the tag %PERLMETRICS{lib/My.pm}% - the output would be the result of running your script, presented in a web page in a name-value tagged table. This output could then be cross-tabulated against other modules as TWiki has the ability to cross-reference table sets. We can then get a measure of relative badness for all the modules in a perl application.

Our first target would be TWiki itself! (Functionally very rich it has some overly complex code).
