NAME Module::List::More - Module::List, with more options VERSION This document describes version 0.004011 of Module::List::More (from Perl distribution Module-List-More), released on 2022-08-12. 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 (sets "recurse" option to 1). 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, } * Recognize c option This makes "list_modules()" behave more like Unix ls utility. When given prefix e.g. "strict" then it will search from the root namespace instead of from "strict::" thus finding "strict.pm" itself. When given prefix e.g. "Module::List" it will start search in the "Module::" namespace instead of "Module::List::" thus finding "Module::List" itself. However, given "strict::" or "Module::List::" will force search from that namespace. HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at . SOURCE Source repository is at . SEE ALSO Module::List Module::List::Tiny Module::List::Wildcard is spun off from this module with the main feature of wildcard. I might deprecate one of the modules in the future, but currently I maintain both. 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. AUTHOR perlancar CONTRIBUTING To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub. Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via: % prove -l If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me. COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2022, 2020 by perlancar .
