Dependencies::Searcher - Search recursively dependencies used in a Perl module's root directory and build a report that can be used as a Carton cpanfile.
This repository is an archive. It has been moved to a Gitlab instance. You can report bugs and request features here.
Maybe you don't want to have to list all the dependencies of your Perl application by hand and want an automated way to build it. Maybe you forgot to do it for a long time ago. During this time, you've add lots of CPAN modules. L<Carton|Carton> is here to help you manage dependencies between your development environment and production, but how to keep track of the list of modules you will pass to to Carton?
Event if it is a no brainer to keep track of this list, it can be much better not to have to do it.
You will need a tool that will check for any requires or use in your module package, and report it into a file that could be used as a Carton cpanfile. Any duplicated entry will be removed and modules versions will be checked and made available. Core modules will be ommited because you don't need to install them.
This project has begun because it happens to me, and I don't want to search for modules to install by hand, I just want to run a simple script that update the list in a simple way. It was much more longer to write the module than to search by hand but I wish it will be usefull.
To install this module, run the following commands:
cpanm Dependencies::Searcher
Or:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
After installing, you can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command.
perldoc Dependencies::Searcher
