The Verilog-Perl library is a building point for Verilog support in the Perl language. It includes: * Verilog::Getopt which parses command line options similar to C++ and VCS. * Verilog::Language which knows the language keywords and parses numbers. * Verilog::Netlist which builds netlists out of Verilog files. This allows easy scripts to determine things such as the hierarchy of modules. * Verilog::Parser invokes callbacks for language tokens. * Verilog::Preproc preprocesses the language, and allows reading post-processed files right from Perl without temporary files. * vpassert inserts PLIish warnings and assertions for any simulator. * vppreproc preprocesses the complete Verilog 2001 and SystemVerilog language. * vrename renames and cross-references Verilog symbols. Vrename creates Verilog cross references and makes it easy to rename signal and module names across multiple files. Vrename uses a simple and efficient three step process. First, you run vrename to create a list of signals in the design. You then edit this list, changing as many symbols as you wish. Vrename is then run a second time to apply the changes.
