NAME

Perl::ToPerl6::Utils::McCabe - Functions that calculate the McCabe score of source code.

DESCRIPTION

Provides approximations of McCabe scores. The McCabe score of a set of code describes the number of possible paths through it. The functions here approximate the McCabe score by summing the number of conditional statements and operators within a set of code. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclomatic_complexity for some discussion about the McCabe number and other complexity metrics.
