NAME
pl2pm - Rough tool to translate Perl4 .pl files to Perl5 .pm modules. SYNOPSIS
pl2pm files DESCRIPTION
pl2pm is a tool to aid in the conversion of Perl4-style .pl library files to Perl5-style library modules. Usually, your old .pl file will still work fine and you should only use this tool if you plan to update your library to use some of the newer Perl 5 features, such as AutoLoading. LIMITATIONS
It's just a first step, but it's usually a good first step. AUTHOR

NAME
Perl::PrereqScanner - a tool to scan your Perl code for its prerequisites VERSION
version 1.012 SYNOPSIS
use Perl::PrereqScanner; my $scanner = Perl::PrereqScanner->new; my $prereqs = $scanner->scan_ppi_document( $ppi_doc ); my $prereqs = $scanner->scan_file( $file_path ); my $prereqs = $scanner->scan_string( $perl_code ); DESCRIPTION
The scanner will extract loosely your distribution prerequisites from your files. The extraction may not be perfect but tries to do its best. It will currently find the following prereqs: o plain lines beginning with "use" or "require" in your perl modules and scripts, including minimum perl version o regular inheritance declared with the "base" and "parent" pragmata o Moose inheritance declared with the "extends" keyword o Moose roles included with the "with" keyword o OO namespace aliasing using the "aliased" module Scanner Plugins Perl::PrereqScanner works by running a series of scanners over a PPI::Document representing the code to scan. By default the "Perl5", "Moose", "TestMore", "POE", and "Aliased" scanners are run. You can supply your own scanners when constructing your PrereqScanner: # Us only the Perl5 scanner: my $scanner = Perl::PrereqScanner->new({ scanners => [ qw(Perl5) ] }); # Use any stock scanners, plus Example: my $scanner = Perl::PrereqScanner->new({ extra_scanners => [ qw(Example) ] }); METHODS
scan_string my $prereqs = $scanner->scan_string( $perl_code ); Given a string containing Perl source code, this method returns a CPAN::Meta::Requirements object describing the modules it requires. This method will throw an exception if PPI fails to parse the code. scan_file my $prereqs = $scanner->scan_file( $path ); Given a file path to a Perl document, this method returns a CPAN::Meta::Requirements object describing the modules it requires. This method will throw an exception if PPI fails to parse the code. scan_ppi_document my $prereqs = $scanner->scan_ppi_document( $ppi_doc ); Given a PPI::Document, this method returns a CPAN::Meta::Requirements object describing the modules it requires.
