pmusage This is a script for generating a perl module usage graph. For example, to find out what modules end up getting loaded when you use Net::FTP, run the following: % pmusage -format dot Net:FTP pmusage can generate four different graph formats: vcg - used by the VCG tool dot - used by the dot tool, which is part of the graphviz toolkit davinci - used by daVinci xml - a simple xml format for storing directed graphs The script is fully documented using pod. Once installed you should get a man page. It also supports two informational switches: -help display a short help message describing command-line options -doc display the complete pod documentation for pmusage The script requires several modules from CPAN. You can get the latest version from www.cpan.org What Where Graph Jarkko's Graph class $CPAN/authors/id/JHI/ Graph-ReadWrite modules for reading+writing different graph formats $CPAN/authors/id/NEILB/ AppConfig::Std used for configuration parameters $CPAN/authors/id/NEILB/ AppConfig AppConfig::Std is a subclass of this module $CPAN/authors/id/ABW/ This is an early version of a work in progress - I'd be happy to hear of any suggestions for improving this script.
