Devel::TraceUse
---------------
Show the modules your program loads, recursively.
An apparently simple program may load a lot of modules. That's useful, but
sometimes you may wonder exactly which part of your program loads which module.
Devel::TraceUse can analyze a program to see which part used which module.
I recommend using it from the command line:
$ perl -d:TraceUse your_program.pl
This will display a tree of the modules ultimately used to run your program.
(It also runs your program with only a little startup cost all the way through
to the end.)
Modules used from your_program.pl:
1. strict 1.04, your_program.pl line 1 [main]
2. warnings 1.06, your_program.pl line 2 [main]
3. Getopt::Long 2.37, your_program.pl line 3 [main]
4. vars 1.01, Getopt/Long.pm line 37
5. warnings::register 1.01, vars.pm line 7
6. Exporter 5.62, Getopt/Long.pm line 43
9. Exporter::Heavy 5.62, Exporter.pm line 18
7. constant 1.13, Getopt/Long.pm line 226
8. overload 1.06, Getopt/Long.pm line 1487 [Getopt::Long::CallBack]
