NAME

pmload - show what files a given module loads at compile time

DESCRIPTION

Given an argument of a module name, show all the files that are loaded directly or indirectly when the module is used at compile-time.

EXAMPLES

NOTE

If the programmers used a delayed "require", those files won't show up. Furthermore, this doesn't show all possible files that get opened, just those that those up in %INC. Most systems have a way to trace system calls. You can use this to find the real answer. First, get a baseline with no modules loaded.
     $ strace perl -e 1 2>&1 | perl -nle '/^open\("(.*?)".* = [^-]/ && print $1'
     /etc/ld.so.cache
     /lib/libnsl.so.1
     /lib/libdb.so.2
     /lib/libdl.so.2
     /lib/libm.so.6
     /lib/libc.so.6
     /lib/libcrypt.so.1
     /dev/null
 
     $ strace perl -e 1 2>&1 | grep -c '^open.*= [^-]'
     8
 
 

Now add module loads and see what you get:

     $ strace perl -MIO::Socket -e 1 2>&1 | grep -c '^open.*= [^-]'
     24
 
     $ strace perl -MTk -e 1 2>&1 | grep -c '^open.*= [^-]'
     35
