NAME
Devel::Dependencies - Perl extension for examining dependencies on modules
SYNOPSIS
perl -MDevel::Dependencies <perl_file>
perl -MDevel::Dependencies=<opts> <perl_file>DESCRIPTION
This module lists all the modules loaded by a program or a module at compilation time.
More accurately, Devel::Dependencies uses a BEGIN and a CHECK block to find the changes in %INC.
Devel::Dependencies accepts any combination of the following options. For more information on passing options from the command line, see perlrun.
- origin
-
Display the path to the file the module was loaded from.
- distance
-
Display the distance of each module, i.e. the posotion of the path in @INC from which the module was loaded. Also display the sum of the distances of all the modules.
- time
-
Display how much time was spend loading modules (i.e. between its
BEGINandCHECKblocks were executed). To do that it may need to load Time::HiRes if your program hasn't loaded it already, and the time it takes will add up to the total time; in that case it will warn about it.
