NAME
Module::Finder - find and query modules in @INC and/or elsewhere
SYNOPSIS
use Module::Finder;
my $finder = Module::Finder->new(
dirs => ['/usr/local/junk/', '/junk/', @INC],
paths => {
'Module::Name::Prefix' => '-', # no recursion - just *.pm
'This::Path' => '-/-', # only This/Path/*/*.pm
'My' => '*', # everything below My/
},
);
# dirs searches @INC only if it is blank
# the first request will cache search results
my @modnames = $finder->modules;
my @modinfos = $finder->module_infos;
my $info = $finder->module_info('My::Found');
# if you're creating/installing code, you might want to rescan
$finder->reset;new
my $finder = Module::Finder->new(%args);- globs
-
This isn't the same as shell glob syntax. These globs say how deep (or not) you want to look in a given path and whether you want to pickup modules that appear along the way. A list of shell glob equivalents follows each one.
/ just recurse (*, */*, */*/*, ...) + just this directory (*) -/+ only one level down (*/*) -/-/+ two levels down (*/*/*) -/+/+ one and two levels down (*/*, */*/*) +/+/+ zero thru two levels down (*, */*, */*/*)If the glob spec is more that just "+", the trailing plus (which is required to make sense) may be omitted (e.g. '-/+' and '-/' are equivalent.)
_find

my @dirs = $self->_which_dirs;_glob_parse
my $glob = $self->_glob_parse($glob);reset
$finder->reset;modules
my @modnames = $finder->modules;module_infos
Returns the info for the first hit of every found module.
my %modinfos = $finder->module_infos;all_module_infos
Returns the info for all hits of every found module. Each element of the returned hash will be an array ref with one or more info objects.
my %modinfos = $finder->all_module_infos;module_info
my $info = $finder->module_info('My::Found');all_module_info
my @info = $finder->all_module_info('My::Found');AUTHOR
