FUNCTIONS

None are exported by default, but they are exportable.

list_rev_deps(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

Currently skips prerequisites which are modules already in core (for installed perl version).

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

• level => int (default: 1)

  Specify how many levels up to check (-1 means unlimited).

• module* => array

  Perl module(s) to check.

• raw => bool (default: 0)

  Return raw result.

• recursive => bool

  Equivalent to setting level=-1.

Return value:

Returns an enveloped result (an array). First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.
