This and other RFCs are available on the web at http://dev.perl.org/rfc/ =head1 TITLE Generate module dependencies easily =head1 VERSION Maintainer: Adam Turoff <ziggy@panix.com> Date: 24 Sep 2000 Mailing List: perl6-stdlib@perl.org Number: 289 Version: 1 Status: Developing =head1 ABSTRACT Perl6 should ship with a simple utility that shows all modules a program uses, and all modules those modules use. =head1 DESCRIPTION Tom Christiansen proposed this in his perl6storm message: =item perl6storm #0043 Write something that spits out module dependencies. Like makedep. A tool that sources but doesn't run? a program/module then spits out %INC might suffice. Can we autobundle with CPAN tricks? This feature will be useful for quite a number of uses, including bundling modules for distribution, and generating snapshots of large Perl programs. =head1 IMPLEMENTATION This feature is probably best implemented through a standard module used as a compiler backend. =head1 REFERENCES None.Thread Next
