[Catalyst] Devel::Nextalyzer - making Multiple Inheritance and NEXT less scary

[Sebastian Riedel]

Hi,

I've released Devel::Nextalyzer, it's based on Matts very nice  
nextalyzer.pl and dumps to STDERR after analyzing the calling class  
on "import".

In a Catalyst app just add these lines to get a dump at startup.
It's important for Catalyst that you "import" at runtime, cause  
plugins are loaded in "setup". (You normally just do "use  
Devel::Nextalyzer;")

     package MyApp;
     use Catalyst qw/-Debug/;
     MyApp->setup;
     require Devel::Nextalyzer;
     import Devel::Nextalyzer;
     1;

Here's an example formatted dump.
