NAME

lint-prereqs - Check extraneous/missing prerequisites in dist.ini

VERSION

This document describes version 0.16 of lint-prereqs (from Perl distribution App-LintPrereqs), released on 2014-08-16.

SYNOPSIS

Usage:

 % lint-prereqs

Examples:

 TODO

To see all options:

 % lint-prereqs --help

DESCRIPTION

Check [Prereqs / *] sections in your dist.ini against what's actually being used in your Perl code (using Perl::PrereqScanner) and what's in Perl core list of modules. Will complain if your prerequisites are not actually used, or already in Perl core. Will also complain if there are missing prerequisites.

Designed to work with prerequisites that are manually written. Does not work if you use AutoPrereqs.

Sometimes there are prerequisites that you know are used but can't be detected by scan_prereqs, or you want to include anyway. If this is the case, you can instruct lint_prereqs to assume the prerequisite is used.

 ;!lint-prereqs assume-used # even though we know it is not currently used
 Foo::Bar=0
 ;!lint-prereqs assume-used # we are forcing a certain version
 Baz=0.12

Sometimes there are also prerequisites that are detected by scan_prereqs, but you know are already provided by some other modules. So to make lint-prereqs ignore them:

 [Extras / lint-prereqs / assume-provided]
 Qux::Quux=0
