  Thanks for the feedback: I'm interested that you're thinking about extending it to tag other things - how are you tackling this? Subclassing Perl::Tags::Naive and replacing get_parsers and adding new parsers there? (I can change get_parsers to use $self->can('package_line') instead of \&package_line to make it easier to subclass).

  Or if you have a better approach to extending, let me know!

    I don't know what the best way to do it is. The easiest way was just to cut and paste into Tags.pm, but when I lost my changes installing 0.21, I decided I had to subclass.
    
    I expected I would only have to add the new parser into my subclass, but I also had to have the old parsers there too, which was a little surprising.
    
    The parsers are subroutines, rather than methods?

      OK, version 0.22 (shortly on CPAN, or on http://greenokapi.net/svn/code/Perl-Tags/ [greenokapi.net] till then) now has tests, including a subclassing test module (t/TodoTagger.pm) and a little documentation pointer in Perl::Tags itself. Hope it helps.
