=pod =head1 NAME Graph-Dependency - Generate dependency graphs for a Perl package. =head1 INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test =head1 REQUIRES You need the following: Perl (well, duh!) wget (to acceess search.cpan.org) Module::CoreList Graph::Easy (for the graphs) graphviz (for png output) =head1 USAGES ./graph YAML ./graph Graph::Easy html ./graph Graph::Easy png svg html The output will be written to C<out/Foo-Bar/>. The META.yml file for each module will be written to C<tmp/>. =head1 BUGS =over 10 =item * The META.yml files are cached, but there is no mechanism to invalidate or re-validate them. If you want to refresh the data, delete everything in C<tmp/>. =item * Modules without a META.yml file will not generate dependencies. Parsing of Makefile.PL is not implemented yet. =item * Modules that are in the core of I<any> Perl version are marked as "in-core". If you have an older Perl, you might still need to install that module first to satisfy the dependencies. =item * Getting the author name from the package requires a needless trip to L<http://search.cpan.org> and might even fail. It would be cool (I<*wink*> I<*nudge*>) if search.cpan.org could redirect to the proper file when given: http://search.cpan.org/src/FOO-BAR/META.yml =back =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Copyright (C) 2006 by Tels at bloodgate.com This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms of the GPL version 2.
