NAME

countperl - count lines, packages, subs and complexity of Perl files.

SYNOPSIS

countperl FILE_OR_DIRECTORY [FILE_OR_DIRECTORY ....]

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS

At least one file or directory path must be supplied.

EXIT STATUS

Exits zero on success, non-zero on failure.

DESCRIPTION

countperl uses Perl::Metrics::Simple to examines the named files and recursivesly searches named directories for Perl files.

Perl files are identified by Perl::Metrics::Simple->is_perl_file. Basically if the file ends in .pl, .pm, or .t or has what appears to be a perl shebang line.

countperl produces a report on STDOUT of counts of total lines, packages, subroutines/methods, the minimum, maximum, mean, standard deviation, and median size and mccabe_complexity (cyclomatic complexity) of subroutines and the 'main' portion of each file (everything not in a subroutine.)

Output Format

Line counts do not include comments nor pod.

The current output format is human-readable text:
