NAME

B::Fathom - a code comprehension estimator

DESCRIPTION

B::Fathom is a backend to the Perl compiler; it analyzes the syntax of your Perl code, and estimates the readability of your program.

USAGE

Invoke this module on your code by typing

perl -MO=Fathom <script>

where <script> is the name of the Perl program that you wish to evaluate.

CAVEATS

Because of the nature of the compiler, Fathom has to do some guessing about the syntax of your program. See the comments in the module for specifics.

Fathom doesn't work very well on modules yet.
