NAME

Test::CircularDependencies - make sure non of the modules depend on themselves

SYNOPSIS

  perl -Ilib script/find-circular-dependencies.pl t/circular_dependency/my_exe.pl --dir t/circular_dependency/

DESCRIPTION

Given one or more scripts, modules, or directories containing those, create a data structure that represents the dependencies. Allow the user to restrict the recursion to files found specific directories.

So let's say we have several application in our company and I'd like to make sure there are no circular dependencies.

projectA/ lib/A.pm bin/exe.pl projectB/ lib/ B.pm Module/ C.pm D.pm

but for histoical reasons while C.pm holds 'package Module::C;' D.pm holds 'package D;' so when we use this we need to

use lib 'projectA/lib'; use lib 'projectB/lib'; use lib 'projectB/lib/Module';

See als circular::require
