1) There should be so few variables with a big enough scope that 
you'd need something like this that it's IMHO not as usefull as it 
may sound. If you do keep the scopes of variables small you seldom 
need to find all occurences of a variable by some automated way, 
because you can simply see them all.

I think that if you need something like this then your code is not 
written clearly enough.

2) Nothing can parse Perl, but perl. Perl syntax is so complex that 
it's very hard to write this kind of programs well enough to be 
actually usefull.
