scandeps.pl - Scan file prerequisites

SYNOPSIS

% scandeps.pl *.pm		# Print PREREQ_PM section for *.pm
% scandeps.pl -e 'STRING'	# Scan an one-liner
% scandeps.pl -B *.pm	# Include core modules
% scandeps.pl -V *.pm	# Show autoload/shared/data files

DESCRIPTION

scandeps.pl is a simple-minded utility that prints out the PREREQ_PM section needed by modules.

If you have CPANPLUS installed, modules that are part of an earlier module's distribution with be denoted with S; modules without a distribution name on CPAN are marked with ?.

Also, if the -B option is specified, module belongs to a perl distribution on CPAN (and thus uninstallable by CPAN.pm or CPANPLUS.pm) are marked with C.

Finally, modules that has loadable shared object files (usually needing a compiler to install) are marked with X; with the -V flag, those files (and all other files found) will be listed before the main output.
