It might be more effective to just write your own compiler subclass that 
records the info you want. You'd get a lot more fine-grained detail and 
you wouldn't have to do things like parse the <%args> blocks, since that 
would be done for you.

If you look in the repo, there's a module named 
HTML::Mason::Compiler::Events that implements a very simple compiler 
subclass that just echoes out little bits of info about a component as its 
called. I haven't used it in a long time, but it might be a good start for 
a new compiler.
