Module...rusive(3pm)

💖 Module::Depends::Intrusive — the perl page, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is Module::Depends::Intrusive(3pm), a User Contributed Perl Documentation situation, and honestly? she's a little unhinged. we love her for it. 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

Module::Depends::Intrusive — intrusive discovery of distribution dependencies. yes, "intrusive" is literally in the name, that's the whole vibe, no notes 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

# Just like Module::Depends, only use the Intrusive class instead

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. iconic, honestly. short queen. 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this module figures out dependencies by running the distributions' Makefile.PL/Build.PL in a faked up environment and then intercepting the calls to Module::Build->new and ExtUtils::MakeMaker::WriteMakefile. like, she doesn't read your files politely and infer stuff — she actually runs your build scripts and catches them mid-sentence. main character energy fr fr. 😭

You may now freak out about security.

no like, genuinely. freak out about security. the manpage said it, not me. 🙈

While you're doing that please remember that what we're doing is much the same that CPAN.pm does in order to discover prerequisites. so like... it's not new, it's not weird, CPAN.pm has been doing this exact thing forever. vibe check: passed. ✅
