## NAME

B::PerlReq - Perl compiler backend to extract Perl dependencies

## SYNOPSIS

**perl** **-MO=PerlReq**\[**,-strict**\]\[**,-relaxed**\]\[**,-v**\]\[**,-d**\] *prog.pl*

## DESCRIPTION

B::PerlReq is a backend module for the Perl compiler that extracts dependencies from Perl source code, based on the internal compiled structure that Perl itself creates after parsing a program. The output of B::PerlReq is suitable for automatic dependency tracking (e.g. for RPM packaging).

  Operate in strict mode.  See perl.req for details.

- **-relaxed**

  Operate in relaxed mode.  See perl.req for details.

- **-d**, **--debug**
