NAME

6       scandeps.pl - Scan file prerequisites
7

SYNOPSIS

9           % scandeps.pl *.pm          # Print PREREQ_PM section for *.pm
10           % scandeps.pl -e 'STRING'   # Scan an one-liner
11           % scandeps.pl -B *.pm       # Include core modules
12           % scandeps.pl -V *.pm       # Show autoload/shared/data files
13           % scandeps.pl -R *.pm       # Don't recurse
14           % scandeps.pl -C CACHEFILE  # use CACHEFILE to cache dependencies
15

DESCRIPTION

17       scandeps.pl is a simple-minded utility that prints out the "PREREQ_PM"
18       section needed by modules.
19
20       If you have CPANPLUS installed, modules that are part of an earlier
21       module's distribution with be denoted with "S"; modules without a
22       distribution name on CPAN are marked with "?".
23
24       Also, if the "-B" option is specified, module belongs to a perl
25       distribution on CPAN (and thus uninstallable by "CPAN.pm" or
26       "CPANPLUS.pm") are marked with "C".
27
28       Finally, modules that has loadable shared object files (usually needing
29       a compiler to install) are marked with "X"; with the "-V" flag, those
30       files (and all other files found) will be listed before the main
31       output. Additionally, all module files that the scanned code depends on
32       but were not found (and thus not scanned recursively) are listed. These
33       may include genuinely missing modules or false positives. That means,
34       modules your code does not depend on (on this particular platform) but
35       that were picked up by the heuristic anyway.
36

OPTIONS

38       -e STRING
39           Scan STRING as a string containing perl code.
40
41       -c  Compiles the code and inspects its %INC, in addition to static
42           scanning.
43
44       -x  Executes the code and inspects its %INC, in addition to static
45           scanning.
46
47       -B  Include core modules in the output and the recursive search list.
48
49       -R  Only show dependencies found in the files listed and do not
50           recurse.
51
52       -V  Verbose mode: Output all files found during the process; show
53           dependencies between modules and availability.
54
55           Additionally, warns of any missing dependencies. If you find
56           missing dependencies that aren't really dependencies, you have
57           probably found false positives.
58
59       -C CACHEFILE
60           Use CACHEFILE to speed up the scanning process by caching
61           dependencies.  Creates CACHEFILE if it does not exist yet.
