NAME

6       Perl::PrereqScanner::Scanner::Perl5 - scan for core Perl 5 language
7       indicators of required modules
8

VERSION

10       version 1.024
11

DESCRIPTION

13       This scanner will look for the following indicators:
14
15       •   plain lines beginning with "use", "require", or "no" in your perl
16           modules and scripts, including minimum perl version
17
18       •   regular inheritance declared with the "base" and "parent" pragmata
19
20       Since Perl does not allow you to supply a version requirement with a
21       "require" statement, the scanner will check the statement after the
22       "require Module" to see if it is "Module->VERSION( minimum_version );".
23
24       In order to provide a minimum version, that method call must meet the
25       following requirements:
26
27       •   it must be the very next statement after "require Module".  Nothing
28           can separate them but whitespace and comments (and one semicolon).
29
30       •   "Module" must be a bareword, and match the "require" exactly.
31
32       •   "minimum_version" must be a literal number, v-string, or single-
33           quoted string.  Double quotes are not allowed.
34

PERL VERSION

36       This library should run on perls released even a long time ago.  It
37       should work on any version of perl released in the last five years.
38
39       Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made
40       that the minimum required version will not be increased.  The version
41       may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches
42       will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.
