NAME Module::List::More - Module::List, with more options VERSION This document describes version 0.004009 of Module::List::More (from Perl distribution Module-List-More), released on 2020-09-22. SYNOPSIS Use like you would Module::List, e.g.: use Module::List::More qw(list_modules); $id_modules = list_modules("Data::ID::", { list_modules=>1, return_path=>1, return_library_path=>1, return_version=>1}); # Sample result: # { # 'Data::ID::One' => { # module_path=>"/home/s1/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.30.2/lib/site_perl/5.30.2/Data/ID/One.pm", # library_path=>"/home/s1/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.30.2/lib/site_perl/5.30.2", # module_version=>'0.01', # }, # 'Data::ID::Two' => { # module_path=>"/home/s1/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.30.2/lib/site_perl/5.30.2/Data/ID/Two.pm", # library_path=>"/home/s1/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.30.2/lib/site_perl/5.30.2", # module_version=>'0.02', # }, # } { local @INC = ('lib', @INC); $id_modules = list_modules("Data::ID::", { list_modules=>1, all=>1, return_path=>1, return_version=>1}); } # Sample result: # { # 'Data::ID::One' => { # module_path=>["lib/Data/ID/One.pm", "/home/s1/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.30.2/lib/site_perl/5.30.2/Data/ID/One.pm"], # module_version=>[undef, '0.01'], # }, # 'Data::ID::Two' => { # module_path=>["/home/s1/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.30.2/lib/site_perl/5.30.2/Data/ID/Two.pm"], # module_version=>['0.02'], # }, # } DESCRIPTION This module is like Module::List, except for the following differences: * lower startup overhead (with some caveats) It avoids using Exporter and implements its own import(). It avoids IO::Dir, Carp, File::Spec, with the goal of saving a few milliseconds (a casual test on my PC results in 11ms vs 39ms). Path separator is hard-coded as "/". * Recognize "all" option If set to true and "return_path" is also set to true, will return all found paths for each module instead of just the first found one. The values of result will be an arrayref containing all found paths. * Recognize "return_library_path" option If set to true, will return a "library_path" result key, which is the associated @INC entry that produces the result. * Recognize "return_version" option If set to true, will parse module source file with ExtUtils::MakeMaker's "parse_version" and return the result in "module_version" key. If version cannot be detected, a proper undefined value "undef" (instead of the string 'undef') is returned. * Recognize "wildcard" option This boolean option can be set to true to recognize wildcard pattern in prefix. Wildcard patterns such as jokers ("?", "*", "**"), classes ("[a-z]"), as well as braces ("{One,Two}") are supported. "**" implies recursive listing. Examples: list_modules("Module::P*", {wildcard=>1, list_modules=>1}); results in something like: { "Module::Patch" => undef, "Module::Path" => undef, "Module::Pluggable" => undef, } while: list_modules("Module::P**", {wildcard=>1, list_modules=>1}); results in something like: { "Module::Patch" => undef, "Module::Path" => undef, "Module::Path::More" => undef, "Module::Pluggable" => undef, "Module::Pluggable::Object" => undef, } while: list_modules("Module::**le", {wildcard=>1, list_modules=>1}); results in something like: { "Module::Depakable" => undef, "Module::Install::Admin::Bundle" => undef, "Module::Install::Admin::Makefile" => undef, "Module::Install::Bundle" => undef, "Module::Install::Makefile" => undef, "Module::Pluggable" => undef, } HISTORY This module began its life as PERLANCAR::Module::List, my personal experimental fork of Module::List. The experiment has also produced other forks like Module::List::Tiny, Module::List::Wildcard. HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at . SOURCE Source repository is at .
