I'm not aware of one, but on the other hand, it wouldn't surprise me =
greatly if something like that existed somewhere on CPAN. If you find =
one, please let me know!

The XMI-export idea is started, but has unfortunately been put on hold =
for the moment (just due to a total shortage of time right now). It's =
basically just a matter of filling out the template for it. I've been =
surprised with how difficult it is to find good basic documentation on =
XMI; if you know of some, please let me know. I've got the actual =
specification and a little other information, but it seems a lot clearer =
just experimenting with an XMI-enabled UML editor, so that's my current =
approach.

I think I just need a few hours of time to get something working with it =
(I actually almost started working on it this morning). It may get =
posted within a week from now, but if not it should be in early January.

Again, if you can point me at a simple "This is how you make a simple =
XMI document" tutorial or example, it would be greatly appreciated.=20

By the way, on a similar subject, I do have a working generic XML =
export. I was originally planning on doing an XSLT-transformation on the =
XML export to get the XMI export, but there are already enough problems =
using one non-core library with JSDoc (HTML::Template), and I didn't =
want to add in another (more complex) dependency.
