perl-Module-ScanDeps

Recursively scan Perl code for dependencies

This module scans potential modules used by perl programs, and returns a hash reference; its keys are the module names as appears in '%INC' (e.g. 'Test/More.pm'); the values are hash references with this structure: { file => '/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/Test/More.pm', key => 'Test/More.pm', type => 'module', # or 'autoload', 'data', 'shared' used_by => [ 'Test/Simple.pm', ... ], uses => [ 'Test/Other.pm', ... ], } One function, 'scan_deps', is exported by default. Other functions such as ('scan_line', 'scan_chunk', 'add_deps', 'path_to_inc_name') are exported upon request. Users of *App::Packer* may also use this module as the dependency-checking frontend, by tweaking their _p2e.pl_ like below: use Module::ScanDeps; ... my $packer = App::Packer->new( frontend => 'Module::ScanDeps' ); ... Please see App::Packer::Frontend for detailed explanation on the structure returned by 'get_files'.
