Perl variables: support 'use vars' declaration
Multi-language source code documentation tool
Brought to you by:

Currently it looks like ND only supports documenting a variable declared like
# <description of $var> my $var;
(or with 'our' instead of 'my'). However, this is another very common "Perly" way to declare lexical variables:
use vars qw($scalarVar1 $scalarVar2 @listVar %hashVar);
It would greatly enhance the "natural" coding vs documentation tradeoff for ND to support the 'use vars' declarations, although I recognize that each var would have to be declared on its own to have a unique description:
use vars qw($scalarVar1); # <description of $var1> use vars qw($scalarVar2); # <description of $var2> use vars qw(@listVar); # <description of @listVar> use vars qw(%hashVar); # <description of %hashVar>
Note that the "inline description" is an enhancement from another feature request, 3303584.
