Module::Depends(3)

NAME
Module::Depends - identify the dependencies of a distribution

SYNOPSIS
 use YAML;
 use Module::Depends;
 my $deps = Module::Depends->new->dist_dir( '.' )->find_modules;
 print "Our dependencies:\n", Dump $deps->requires;

DESCRIPTION
Module::Depends extracts module dependencies from an unpacked distribution tree.

Module::Depends only evaluates the META.yml shipped with a distribution. This won't be effective until all distributions ship META.yml files, so we suggest you take your life in your hands and look at Module::Depends::Intrusive.

METHODS

  new
simple constructor

  dist_dir
Path where the distribution has been extracted to.

  find_modules
scan the "dist_dir" to populate "libs", "requires", and "build_requires"

  libs
an array reference of lib lines

  requires
A reference to a hash enumerating the prerequisite modules for this distribution.

  configure_requires
A reference to a hash enumerating the prerequisite modules to configure this distribution.

  build_requires
A reference to a hash enumerating the modules needed to build the distribution.

  error
A reason, if any, for failing to get dependencies.
