# scan-perl-prereqs-nqlite(1p)

## NAME

scan-perl-prereqs-nqlite

## SYNOPSIS

```
  scan-perl-prereqs-nqlite [DIRS|FILES]
```

## DESCRIPTION

`"scan-perl-prereqs-nqlite"` traverses several files and subdirectories in the current directory with File::Find to collect all `".pl"`, `".PL"`, `".pm"`, `".t"`, `".psgi"` files (as well as all the files in `"scripts?"` and `"bin"` directories), and prints a single combined list of prerequisites, which should be suitable for piping to `"cpanm"` or similar tools.

You can also pass files and/or directories to limit files to scan. In this case, however, `"scan-perl-prereqs-nqlite"` may fail to exclude modules that should belong to the same distribution.

## OPTIONS

- version

  Show the version.

- help

  Show this help.

- json

  Print prerequisites as a JSON if JSON::PP is installed.

- cpanfile, save\_cpanfile

  Print prerequisites as `"cpanfile"` if Module::CPANfile is installed. If `"safe-cpanfile"` is set, create or update `"cpanfile"`.

- suggests

  Print suggestions (`"use"`d modules in `"eval"`) as well.

- develop

  Print requirements/suggestions for developers (`"use"`d modules in `"xt"` and `"author"` directories) as well.

- perl\_minimum\_version

  May modify required perl version if new language features are used without declaring the required perl version explicitly.

- exclude\_core

  Ignore prerequisites that are bundled with Perl (of 5.008001 by default). This requires Module::CoreList version 2.99 or above.

- perl\_version

  Ignore prerequisites that are bundled with Perl of a specific version. This implies `"exclude-core"` as well.

- allow\_test\_pms

  Print requirements/suggestions in .pm files that are placed under t/ directory but are not directly used from .t files, too. If Test::Class family is used under t/, this option is implicitly set.

- base\_dir

  Set the base directory from where `"scan-perl-prereqs-nqlite"` starts traversing files and directories.

- ignore

  Set a list of paths `"scan-perl-prereqs-nqlite"` should ignore. This is useful when your distribution has a set of OS-specific modules, for example.

- ignore\_re

  You can also specify a regexp instead of a list of paths. If this is set, `"ignore"` options are ignored.

- optional

  Set a list of paths `"scan-perl-prereqs-nqlite"` should ignore. This is useful when your distribution has a set of OS-specific modules, for example.

- optional\_re

  You can also specify a regexp instead of a list of paths. If this is set, `"optional"` options are ignored.

- private

  Set a list of modules `"scan-perl-prereqs-nqlite"` should consider private, that is, that are not uploaded to the CPAN. Contrary to the `"ignore"` option, which makes the scanner skip scanning the file, this option lets the scanner scan files, and excludes matched prerequisites afterwards.

- private\_re

  You can also specify a regexp instead of a list of modules. If this is set, `"private"` options are ignored.

- scan\_also

  Set a list of extra paths `"scan-perl-prereqs-nqlite"` should also scan. This is useful when your application/distribution uses an untraditional file layout.

- feature

  ```
    scan-perl-prereqs-nqlite \
      --feature name:description:lib/My/Plugin/For/SpecificOS \
      --feature name:description:web/lib,web/bin
  ```

  Specify a feature name, a description, and matching paths.

- use\_index

  You can specify an index name of CPAN::Common::Index module (such as "Mirror" or "MetaDB") not to list all the modules of a required distribution.

- blib

  If this is set, `"scan-perl-prereqs-nqlite"` will traverse subdirectories under `"blib"` to collect runtime requirements. It may return better results if some of the files are located in some uncommon places and/or some of them are listed in `"no_index"`. However, files in `"blib"` may be older than the ones under `"lib"` etc, and you need to update them by running a make or a `"Build"` script before you run `"scan-perl-prereqs-nqlite"`.

- parser

  Set a list of parsers (or parser tags) `"scan-perl-prereqs-nqlite"` uses. If this option is not set, the scanner uses `":installed"` parsers by default.

- inc

  Add a list of additional `@INC` path `"scan-perl-prereqs-nqlite"` looks for private parsers.

- verbose

  Print verbose messages.
