Classes , global function & variables support for perl in class viewer

[luc willems]

	Hello all ,

For a long time i was looking for a good ide for programming in perl. When i 
noticed that the new kdevelop would support perl , i was curious and 
installed the alpha build to try it out. 

But when testing some perl packages with classes i noticed that there was no 
support for classes in the classviewer and the global functions wasn't 
working correctly if you defined 2 functions with the same name but in 
different packages.

So a took all my curage and jump in the code to see if i could change this.
And voila , here is a big patch that will give following things :

	- perl classes ( yes , the exist . a little bit strange but it's nice)
	- perl global function , considering the namespace of the package
	- perl global variables

If you like it , love it , need it , than please put it in the main tree. if 
note , let me know. It's my first try in C++ and KDE coding so any beginners 
mistake will probably be there.

I'm planning further things like adding new classes support , templates ,... . 
I'm dreaming on a good perl debugger and and mod_perl debug/development 
environment. I will see how far i get.

b.t.w. , anybody have a good tip on how to debug in kdevelop 2.x . whithout 
manually doing a make install to a temp directory. If i don't do this , a 
can't debug the parts/xxx files because the library files aren't found during 
startup.


	greetings,
	luc
