or

midgen [options]

OPTIONS

--help or -h

Prints a help message and exits.

Options:
  --help           brief help message
  --format         change output format
  --dual_life      show dual-life modules
  --core           show all perl core modules
  --verbose        show detailed progress of files we are processing
  --experimental   this feature under development
  --zero           show a 0 instead of core
  --debug          show much more information relevant to self development

--format or -f

By default we output to STDOUT in 'dsl' format, so you can check, copy n paste or select an alternative format as shown below.

midgen -f dsl		# Module::Include::DSL
midgen -f mi		# Module::Include
midgen -f mb		# Module::Build
midgen -f eumm		# ExtUtils::MakeMaker
midgen -f dist		# dist.ini
midgen -f cpanfile	# cpanfile prereqs
midgen -f metajson	# META.json
midgen -f infile	# show module in-files

--dual_life or -l

Shows modules that are in Perl core and CPAN, some modules have a version number eg; constant, Carp.

midgen -l

--core or -c

Shows all modules that are in Perl core, including dual-life, some have a version of 0 eg; strict, English.

midgen -c

--verbose or -v

Show file names that we are checking, as we go.

midgen -v

--experimental or -x

This experimental feature turns on extra passing, that removes twins and noisy_children, replacing them with there parent(dist), giving a minimalist output, you might conceive this as controversial, if so don't enable it. It also scans xt/ directory if you have one. If you find it to noisy you can add a '-q' for --quiet.

midgen -x

--zero or z

Use a '0' instead of 'core' for core module version number, suggest you incorporate it with core for maximum affect.

midgen -cz

--write or -w

You can now write your current options to ~/.midgenrc in JSON format (core, dual_life, format, zero), to be used again. I you want to edit your ~./midgenrc file, you could use the Getopt --no-option to negate an option, or you can edit/delete the file, your choice.

midgen --no-z -w

--debug or -d

Provides a vast amount of output, relevant to development also enables (core, verbose), uses Data::Printer.

Suggest you consider redirecting STDERR when the debug option is used.

midgen -d 2>debug.txt
