Module::Use

SYNOPSIS

Perl

use Module::Use (Counting, Logger => "Debug");

mod_perl

<Perl>
use Module::Use (Counting, Logger => "Debug");
</Perl>

PerlChildExitHandler Module::Use
PerlCleanupHandler Module::Use
PerlLogHandler Module::Use

DESCRIPTION

Module::Use will record the modules used over the course of the Perl interpreter's lifetime. If the logging module is able, the old logs are read and frequently used modules are automatically loaded. Note that no symbols are imported into packages.

Under mod_perl, only one Perl*Handler should be selected, depending on when and how often logging should take place.

OPTIONS

The following options are available when useing this module.

Count

This is the number of times a module has been used for it to be automatically loaded.

Counting

This indicates that the number of times a module is required should be tracked. This option takes no arguments.

N.B.: This will tie %INC. This may not work. Don't use if it doesn't.

Decay

This number is subtracted from the count of all modules that are in the data store but were not loaded.

Grow

This number is added to the count of all modules that were loaded.

Limit

Do not automatically load more than this many modules.

Logger

This is the logging module to use. Configuration is specific to the module chosen. Please see the documentation for the module.

The module name is Module::Use::Logger with Logger replaced with the value of this option.

Percentage

The percentage of total module loads is used in the same manner as the Count. If both Percentage and Count are given, the one with the greater counts is used.
