NAME

       cpangraph - Generate dependency chain graphs for CPAN modules

VERSION

       Version 0.12

SYNOPSIS

	 cpangraph [options] <file>

	   Options:
	     --help	       display a brief help message
	     --perl=VERSION    filter those available in Perl core
	     --phase=PHASE     filter those needed for a phase (e.g., build)
	     --rankdir	       controls the GraphViz 'rankdir' variable
	     --reverse	       graph reverse dependencies (dependents)
	     --verbose	       display additional debugging information

OPTIONS

       --help
	   Prints a brief help message to the standard output and exits.

       --perl=VERSION
	   This displays dependencies which have been available in Perl core since the given VERSION. It does not currently know if a module has
	   been removed from core, but this is an unlikely occurrence. Specify Perl versions in the form:

	     5.008008 # for versions >= 5.8.8
	     5.010    # for versions >= 5.10

       --phase=PHASE
	   This displays dependencies which are needed for a given module's install or runtime PHASE. Available phases are:

	   o   runtime: required whenever the module is used

	   o   build: required to build the module

	   o   configure: these are required while preparing the module for build

       --rankdir
	   In GraphViz, the 'rankdir' attribute controls the direction that the nodes are linked together. If set, the graph will use left ->
	   right linking of nodes rather than the default up-down linking.

       --reverse
	   Create a graph of the reverse dependencies of a package (the packages which depend on it, or dependent packages).

       --verbose
	   Display extra output useful during debugging.

DESCRIPTION

       This script will use the CPAN Database to build a graph of a package's dependencies or reverse dependencies (dependent packages).
