scandeps.pl - Scan file prerequisites

SYNOPSIS

    % scandeps.pl *.pm          # Print PREREQ_PM section for *.pm
    % scandeps.pl -e 'STRING'   # Scan an one-liner
    % scandeps.pl -B *.pm       # Include core modules
    % scandeps.pl -V *.pm       # Show autoload/shared/data files

DESCRIPTION

scandeps.pl is a simple-minded utility that prints out the PREREQ_PM section needed by modules.

If you have CPANPLUS installed, modules that are part of an earlier module's distribution with be denoted with S; modules without a distribution name on CPAN are marked with ?.

Also, if the -B option is specified, module belongs to a perl distribution on CPAN (and thus uninstallable by CPAN.pm or CPANPLUS.pm) are marked with C.

Finally, modules that has loadable shared object files (usually needing a compiler to install) are marked with X; with the -V flag, those files (and all other files found) will be listed before the main output.

OPTIONS

-e STRING: Scan STRING as a string containing perl code.
-c: Compiles the code and inspects its %INC, in addition to static scanning.
-x: Executes the code and inspects its %INC, in addition to static scanning.
-B: Include core modules in the output and the recursive search list.
-V: Verbose mode: Output all files found during the process; show dependencies between modules and availability.
