Perl::PrereqScanner.3pm

NAME

Perl::PrereqScanner - a tool to scan your Perl code for its prerequisites

VERSION

version 0.101480

SYNOPSIS

   use Perl::PrereqScanner;
   my $scanner = Perl::PrereqScanner->new;
   my $prereqs = $scanner->scan_ppi_document( $ppi_doc );
   my $prereqs = $scanner->scan_file( $file_path );
   my $prereqs = $scanner->scan_string( $perl_code );
 
 

DESCRIPTION

The scanner will extract loosely your distribution prerequisites from your files.

The extraction may not be perfect but tries to do its best. It will currently find the following prereqs:

*

plain lines beginning with "use" or "require" in your perl modules and scripts, including minimum perl version

*

regular inheritance declared with the "base" and "parent" pragmata

*

Moose inheritance declared with the "extends" keyword

*

Moose roles included with the "with" keyword

It will trim the following pragamata: "strict", "warnings", and "lib". "base" is trimmed unless a specific version is required. "parent" is kept, since it's only recently become a core library.

Scanner Plugins

Perl::PrereqScanner works by running a series of scanners over a PPI::Document representing the code to scan. By default the ``Perl5'' and ``Moose'' scanners are run. You can supply your own scanners when constructing your PrereqScanner:

   # Do not use the Moose scanner, only Perl5:
   my $scanner = Perl::PrereqScanner->new({ plugins => [ qw(Perl5) ] });
 
   # Use any stock plugins, plus Example:
   my $scanner = Perl::PrereqScanner->new({ extra_plugins => [ qw(Example) ] });
 
 

METHODS

scan_string

   my $prereqs = $scanner->scan_string( $perl_code );
 
 

Given a string containing Perl source code, this method returns a Version::Requirements object describing the modules it requires.

scan_file

   my $prereqs = $scanner->scan_file( $path );
 
 

Given a file path to a Perl document, this method returns a Version::Requirements object describing the modules it requires.

scan_ppi_document

   my $prereqs = $scanner->scan_ppi_document( $ppi_doc );
 
 

Given a PPI::Document, this method returns a Version::Requirements object describing the modules it requires.
