NAME

todofind - recursively scan Perl source code for TODO comments

SYNOPSIS

todofind (no arguments)

DESCRIPTION

todofind scans files and folders recursively, starting in the current working directory. Whenever a line of text is found that looks like a Perl comment with the keyword "TODO" followed by a colon, todofind outputs a line containing the filename, line number, and comment text. The output can be processed by the Emacs 'grep' function.

The bottom line is, if you are a Perl developer who uses Emacs, you can do M-x grep, replace the 'grep -nH' with simply 'todofind', and then you can browse the resulting TODO items in your code base just like any grep results.
