EXAMPLE

DESCRIPTION

Module::Dependency modules rely on a database of dependencies because creating the index at every runtime is both expensive and unnecessary. This program uses File::Find for every named directory and looks for .pl and .pm files, which it then extracts dependency information from.

The default index file is $ENV{PERL_PMD_DB} or /var/tmp/dependence/unified.dat but you can specify another using the -o option.
