Now meta_info is running

I cannot work with vim on Android. It is running, but not my philosophy. Therefore I cannot use perltags.

So I started a simple meta_info system for Perl classes and methods using my CPAN modules Report::Porf, PQL::Cache and Scalar::Validation.

Calling meta_scan.pl creates a PQL::Cache and dumps it into a file,
meta_info.pl reads the dumped Cache in less than a second and then you can query classes and methods by

c Porf (Lists all classes containing "Porf" in namespace or classname)
m new (same for methods)
mc Porf get_.* (All getters from all classes containing Porf)

you can use regexes like possible in PQL::Cache, and thats a lot of possibilities.

See following session with highlighted commands:

# Load from file .../perl_meta_dump.pl.dump
# 1167 class infos loaded.
# 10384 method infos loaded.
? c Path
command c Path
# select classes matching names by 'Path'
# 2 classes found
