SCAN-PERL-PREREQS(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is SCAN-PERL-PREREQS(1) — a User Contributed Perl Documentation page — and it's the manual for Perl::PrereqScanner::App: scan your working dir for likely prereqs. That's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 1.100 — yes ma'am, that's the version. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

scan-perl-prereqs [--by-file] [--pretty] [DIRS | FILES]

Directories are traversed with File::Find to collect all .pl, .pm, .psgi and .t files. If no directories or files are specified, the current working directory is scanned. No args? No problem, bestie — cwd gets the scan.

The default is to print a single combined list suitable for piping to cpanm or similar tools. Pipeable and ready to go, fr fr.

• --by-file — prints results grouped by the files in which they were found.
• --pretty — prints results in a more human-friendly format, with names and versions vertically aligned.

💜 PERL VERSION 💜

This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It should work on any version of perl released in the last five years. Old perl? It's giving “still invited to the party.” ✨

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl. So don't try to make it support your ancient perl and expect a yes, okay? 😭
