Those graphes were made using prereq-grapher:
http://blogs.perl.org/users/neilb/2012/12/prereq-grapher.html

Here is an updated version, centered about our biggest monster, 
Sympa::List, produced with the following options:
prereq-grapher -d 4 -no-core -o list.dot Sympa::List
dot -Tsvg list.dot -o list.svg

You should easily be able to produce graphes for other classes. Warning, 
don't use direct SVG rendering throuhg -svg option of prereq-grapher, it 
usually timeout when using any graph depth > 2...

I've also tried to use autodia, to produce UML diagrams of class 
inheritances automatically, but the tools seems to be too much oudated 
to produce any useful result

BTW, this is just current state of the codebase, not a target plan. I 
first need to reactivate all the dependencies which have been commented 
out before being able to draw such as plan, but it basically turns down 
to distributing sympa code in stacked layers:
- executables
- first-class concepts such as list, message, scenario, etc...,
 as objects
- utilities, as functions

And to avoid dependencies against upper layers, ie function in Tools 
package should not have any kind of direct dependencies against 
configuration or logger, for instance.
