  • I believe it's useful and CPAN-worthy, notably for modperl apps. It would be nice to be able to filter out Perl's builtins as well to see what genuine globals have been introduced.

    • It is easy to filter out any globals you want. You could add ^main:: and catch everything in the main package. Of course, someone could stick a new global in main, and you'd miss it ...

  • CPAN that puppy forthwith. I agree that more filtering of Perl built-ins would be good (not just filter patterns, but actually avoiding $!, @+, @DB::args, etc.).

    • Patches welcome. ;-)

      I'll commit it probably next week. My computing life is a shambles and I need to clean it up.
