FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

is_internal($)

This method receives a module name from the DEPENDENCY files and tells you if it is internal or not (by checking if it is absolute or not).

add_graph($$)

This method will add the dependency information in a single perl file (script or module) to a graph dependency object you give it.

c2deps($)

This method will extract a dependency graph from a perl source file.

module_to_search_file($)

This will translate a module name to a module file to search for (without the perl/lib prefix...

file_to_module($)

Convert a filename for a module to its perl notation (with ::).

module_to_deps($)

This method receives a module name and returns the deps file that holds the dependency information for it.

extfile_to_module($)

Convert an expternal perl module filename perl module notation.

deps_to_module($)

This method does the reverse of module_to_deps.

deps_file_to_module($)

This method recevies a deps file, and returns the module which it represents.

add_deps($$$$$)

This method reads a dep file and adds it's information to a graph.

add_deps_rec($$$$$$)

This module will create a dep graph to describe the module and all the modules that it depends on.

TEST($)

Test suite for this module. Currenlty it tries to check the recursive dependencies of a certain module.

SUPER CLASSES

None.

TODO

-in the c2deps method check that the source configuration management tool knows about the files were adding.

-were always calling Aegis::Search_path here. Optimize this (either at the aegis or this level).
