• Interesting sloccount problem... (Score:1)

  I really need to check one of these days and see if sloccount ignores POD, __END__ and __DATA__ blocks, and heredocs properly.
  
  Note to self, if not, write Perl::Sloccount.
  
  Secondly, one interesting problem I've noticed is that when my codebases get to around 50,000 lines of code, they stop growing.
  
  It's as if the rate at which problems can be factored out and moved into CPAN modules, plus general refactoring, cancels out the code growth for new features.
  
  That or I guess I might be getting bored with that problem :)

    Yeah - This is 40k LoC over several sets of modules.
    
    The longer I work on them the less the LoC grows.. sometimes the LoC shrink as I refactor the code to be better or replace a wheel I reinvented with one from CPAN.
