VERSION
version 0.0600
SYNOPSIS
use Perl::Metrics::Halstead;
my $pmh = Perl::Metrics::Halstead->new(file => '/some/perl/code.pl');
my $metrics = $pmh->dump;
$pmh->report;DESCRIPTION
Perl::Metrics::Halstead computes Halstead complexity metrics.
Please see the explanatory links in the "SEE ALSO" section for descriptions of what these attributes mean and how they are computed.
ATTRIBUTES
All attributes are calculated except for file, which is required to be given in the constructor.
file
$file = $pmh->file;The file to analyze.
n_operators
$n_operators = $pmh->n_operators;The total number of operators.
n_operands
$n_operands = $pmh->n_operands;The total number of operands.
n_distinct_operators
$n_distinct_operators = $pmh->n_distinct_operators;The number of distinct operators.
n_distinct_operands
$n_distinct_operands = $pmh->n_distinct_operands;The number of distinct operands.
prog_vocab
$prog_vocab = $pmh->prog_vocab;The program vocabulary.
prog_length
$prog_length = $pmh->prog_length;The program length.
est_prog_length
$est_prog_length = $pmh->est_prog_length;The estimated program length.

METHODS
new()
$pmh = Perl::Metrics::Halstead->new(file => $file);Create a new Perl::Metrics::Halstead object given the file argument.
BUILD()
Process the given file into the computed metrics.
report()
$pmh->report();Print the computed metrics to STDOUT.
dump()
$metrics = $pmh->dump();Return a hashref of the metrics and their computed values.
