=head1 NAME
Module::Extract::Use - Discover the modules a module explicitly uses
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Module::Extract::Use;
my $extor = Module::Extract::Use->new;
my @modules = $extor->get_modules( $file );
if( $extor->error ) { ... }
my $details = $extor->get_modules_with_details( $file );
foreach my $detail ( @$details ) {
printf "%s %s imports %s\n",
$detail->module, $detail->version,
join ' ', @{ $detail->imports }
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Extract the names of the modules used in a file using a static
analysis. Since this module does not run code, it cannot find dynamic
uses of modules, such as C<eval "require $class">. It only reports modules
that the file loads directly or are in the import lists for L<parent>
or L<base>.
The module can handle the conventional inclusion of modules with either
C<use> or C<require> as the statement:
use Foo;
require Foo;
use Foo 1.23;
use Foo qw(this that);
It now finds C<require> as an expression, which is useful to lazily
load a module once (and may be faster):
sub do_something {
state $rc = require Foo;
...
}
Additionally, it finds module names used with C<parent> and C<base>,
either of which establish an inheritance relationship:
use parent qw(Foo);
use base qw(Foo);
In the case of namespaces found in C<base> or C<parent>, the value of
the C<direct> method is false. In all other cases, it is true. You
can then skip those namespaces:
my $details = $extor->get_modules_with_details( $file );
foreach my $detail ( @$details ) {
next unless $detail->direct;
...
}
This module does not discover runtime machinations to load something,
such as string evals:
eval "use Foo";
my $bar = 'Bar';
eval "use $bar";
If you want that, you might consider L<Module::ExtractUse> (a confusingly
similar name).

=item new
Makes an object. The object doesn't do anything just yet, but you need
it to call the methods.
=cut
sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $self = bless {}, $class;
$self->init;
$self;
}
=item init
Set up the object. You shouldn't need to call this yourself.

sub init {
$_[0]->_clear_error;

=item get_modules( FILE )
Returns a list of namespaces explicity use-d in FILE. Returns the
empty list if the file does not exist or if it can't parse the file.
Each used namespace is only in the list even if it is used multiple
times in the file. The order of the list does not correspond to
anything so don't use the order to infer anything.

sub get_modules {
my( $self, $file ) = @_;
$self->_clear_error;
my $details = $self->get_modules_with_details( $file );
my @modules = map { $_->module } @$details;
@modules;
}
=item get_modules_with_details( FILE )
Returns a list of hash references, one reference for each namespace
explicitly use-d in FILE. Each reference has keys for:
namespace - the namespace, always defined
version - defined if a module version was specified
imports - an array reference to the import list
pragma - true if the module thinks this namespace is a pragma
direct - false if the module name came from parent or base
Each used namespace is only in the list even if it is used multiple
times in the file. The order of the list does not correspond to
anything so don't use the order to infer anything.
