Introduction

What is libverilog-perl
libverilog-perl is:
Verilog is a Perl framework providing 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, which invokes callbacks for language tokens
- Verilog::Preproc, preprocesses the language, and allows reading post-processed files right from Perl without temporary files.
It also includes a variety of useful utilities:
- 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. It creates Verilog cross references and makes it easy to rename signal and module names over multiple files.
