NAME¶
cpangraph - Generate dependency chain graphs for CPAN modules
VERSION¶
Version 0.12
SYNOPSIS¶
cpangraph [options] <file>
Options:
--help display a brief help message
--perl=VERSION filter those available in Perl core
--phase=PHASE filter those needed for a phase (e.g., build)
--rankdir controls the GraphViz 'rankdir' variable
--reverse graph reverse dependencies (dependents)
--verbose display additional debugging information
OPTIONS¶
- --help
- Prints a brief help message to the standard output and
exits.
- --perl=VERSION
- This displays dependencies which have been available in
Perl core since the given VERSION. It does not currently know if a module
has been removed from core, but this is an unlikely occurrence. Specify
Perl versions in the form:
5.008008 # for versions >= 5.8.8
5.010 # for versions >= 5.10
- --phase=PHASE
- This displays dependencies which are needed for a given
module's install or runtime PHASE. Available phases are:
- •
- runtime: required whenever the module is used
- •
- build: required to build the module
- •
- configure: these are required while preparing the module
for build
- --rankdir
- In GraphViz, the 'rankdir' attribute controls the direction
that the nodes are linked together. If set, the graph will use left ->
right linking of nodes rather than the default up-down linking.
- --reverse
- Create a graph of the reverse dependencies of a package
(the packages which depend on it, or dependent packages).
- --verbose
- Display extra output useful during debugging.
DESCRIPTION¶
This script will use the CPAN Database to build a graph of a package's
dependencies or reverse dependencies (dependent packages).
