Perl::PrereqScanner::Scanner::Perl5 − scan for core Perl 5 language indicators of required modules
version 1.014
This scanner will look for the following indicators:
• |
plain lines beginning with "use" or "require" in your perl modules and scripts, including minimum perl version |
||
• |
regular inheritance declared with the "base" and "parent" pragmata |
Since Perl does not allow you to supply a version requirement with a "require" statement, the scanner will check the statement after the "require Module" to see if it is "Module−>VERSION( minimum_version );".
In order to provide a minimum version, that method call must meet the following requirements:
• |
it must be the very next statement after "require Module". Nothing can separate them but whitespace and comments (and one semicolon). |
||
• |
"Module" must be a bareword, and match the "require" exactly. |
||
• |
"minimum_version" must be a literal number, v−string, or single-quoted string. Double quotes are not allowed. |
• |
