[PERCEPS] Perceps?

I am a long time perceps user. We have been using it in Gtk--
for over a year. However, recently we switched over to namespaces
and perceps is very unhappy. Reading here that perceps doesn't
support it and seeing the relative low traffic here I have to wonder
about the status of the project. I sent several patches to fix
template bugs and other nasties but have not heard back.
Not hearing anything and still needing a perl documentation generator
(which is heavily modified to handle our source files), I have just
completed a near total rewrite. The new version currently dubbed
"pce2" is located in the gtk-- module of the gnome cvs under
directory docgen.
It handles namespaces and embedded classes and has a much more
elegant object tree for storing its internals. All the plugin
functionality is there still, but there is no output template
support, because I didn't need it. I don't plan to maintain
it beyond my limited use in gtk--, however it would form a good base
for a rewrite of perceps if there are still interested users out
there.
Thanks
