--format or -f

By default we output to STDOUT in 'dsl' format, so you can check, copy n paste or select an alternative format as shown below.

            

              
              
midgen -f dsl           # Module::Include::DSL
midgen -f mi            # Module::Include
midgen -f mb            # Module::Build
midgen -f eumm          # ExtUtils::MakeMaker
midgen -f dist          # dist.ini
midgen -f cpanfile      # cpanfile prereqs
midgen -f metajson      # META.json
midgen -f infile        # show module in-files
            
          

--dual_life or -l

Shows modules that are in Perl core and CPAN, some modules have a version number eg; constant, Carp.

            

              
              
midgen -l
            
          

--core or -c

Shows all modules that are in Perl core, including dual-life, some have a version of 0 eg; strict, English.

            

              
              
midgen -c
            
          

--verbose or -v

Show file names that we are checking, as we go.

            

              
              
midgen -v
            
          

--experimental or -x

This experimental feature turns on extra passing, that removes twins and noisy_children, replacing them with there parent(dist), giving a minimalist output, you might conceive this as controversial, if so don't enable it. It also scans xt/ directory if you have one. If you find it to noisy you can add a '-q' for --quiet.

            

              
              
midgen -x
            
          

--zero or z

Use a '0' instead of 'core' for core module version number, suggest you incorporate it with core for maximum affect.

            

              
              
midgen -cz
            
          

--write or -w

You can now write your current options to ~/.midgenrc in JSON format (core, dual_life, format, zero), to be used again. I you want to edit your ~./midgenrc file, you could use the Getopt --no-option to negate an option, or you can edit/delete the file, your choice.

            

              
              
midgen --no-z -w
            
          

--debug or -d

Provides a vast amount of output, relevant to development also enables (core, verbose), uses Data::Printer.

Suggest you consider redirecting STDERR when the debug option is used.

            

              
              
midgen -d 2>debug.txt
