NAME

App::tracepm - Trace dependencies of your Perl script file

VERSION

version 0.03

SYNOPSIS

This distribution provides command-line utility called tracepm.

FUNCTIONS

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

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

• args => array

  Script arguments.

• core => bool

  Filter only modules that are in core.

• detail => bool (default: 0)

  Whether to return records instead of just module names.

• method => str (default: "fatpacker")

  Tracing method to use.

  There are two tracing methods that can be used. The first (and default) is fatpacker, using fatpacker trace. This method runs the script using perl -c option then collect the populated %INC. Only modules loaded during compile time are detected.

  The second method (require) runs your script normally, but replaces CORE::GLOBAL::require() with a routine that logs the require() argument to the log file. Modules loaded during runtime is also logged. But some modules might not work, specifically modules that also overrides require() (there should be only a handful of modules that do this though).

• perl_version => str

  Perl version, defaults to current running version.

  This is for determining which module is core (the list differs from version to version. See Module::CoreList for more details.

• script* => str

  Path to script file (script to be packed).

• use => array

  Additional modules to "use".

  This is like running:

  perl -MModule1 -MModule2 script.pl

• xs => bool

  Filter only modules that are XS modules.

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.
