Test::Dependencies(3) User Contributed Perl DocumentationTest::Dependencies(3)NAMETest::Dependencies - Ensure that your Makefile.PL specifies all module
dependencies
VERSION
Version 0.12
SYNOPSIS
In your t/00-dependencies.t:
use Test::Dependencies exclude =>
[qw/ Your::Namespace Some::Other::Namespace /];
ok_dependencies();
DESCRIPTION
Makes sure that all of the modules that are 'use'd are listed in the
Makefile.PL as dependencies.
OPTIONS
You can pass options to the module via the 'use' line. The available
options are:
exclude
Specifies the list of namespaces for which it is ok not to have
specified dependencies.
style
Specifies the style of module usage checking to use. There are two
valid values: "light" and "heavy". The default is heavy. The
light style uses regular expressions to try and guess which modules
are required. It is fast, but can get confused by here-docs,
multi-line strings, data sections, etc. The heavy style actually
compiles the file and asks perl which modules were used. It is
slower than the light style, but much more accurate. If you have a
very large project and you don't want to wait for the heavy style
every time you run "make test," you might want to try the light
style or look into the overrides below.
Whether a style is specified or not, the style used can be
overriden by the environment variable TDSTYLE. This is useful, for
example, if you want the heavy style to be used normally, but don't
want to take the time checking dependencies on your smoke test
server.
Example usage:
use Test::Dependencies
exclude => ['Test::Dependencies'],
style => 'light';
EXPORTED FUNCTIONS
ok_dependencies
This should be the only test called in the test file. It scans bin/
and lib/ for module usage and t/ for build usage. It will then test
that all modules used are listed as required in Makefile.PL, all
modules used in t/ are listed as build required, that all modules
listed are actually used, and that modules that are listed are not in
the core list.

BUGS
· Test::Dependencies does not track module version requirements.
· Perl version for "already in core" test failures is hardcoded.
