# NAME
Perl::PrereqScanner::Lite - Lightweight Prereqs Scanner for Perl
# SYNOPSIS
use Perl::PrereqScanner::Lite;
my $scanner = Perl::PrereqScanner::Lite->new;
$scanner->add_extra_scanner('Moose'); # add extra scanner for moose style
my $modules = $scanner->scan_file('path/to/file');
# DESCRIPTION
Perl::PrereqScanner::Lite is the lightweight prereqs scanner for perl.
This scanner uses [Compiler::Lexer](
https://metacpan.org/pod/Compiler::Lexer) as tokenizer, therefore processing speed is really fast.
# METHODS
## new($opt)
Create a scanner instance.
`$opt` must be hash reference. It accepts following keys of hash:
- extra\_scanners
It specifies extra scanners. This item must be array reference.
e.g.
my $scanner = Perl::PrereqScanner::Lite->new(
extra_scanners => [qw/Moose Version/]
);
See also ["add\_extra\_scanner($scanner\_name)"](#add_extra_scanner-scanner_name).
- no\_prereq
It specifies to use `## no prereq` or not. Please see also ["ADDITIONAL NOTATION"](#additional-notation).
## scan\_file($file\_path)
Scan and figure out prereqs which is instance of `CPAN::Meta::Requirements` by file path.
## scan\_string($string)
Scan and figure out prereqs which is instance of `CPAN::Meta::Requirements` by source code string written in perl.
e.g.
open my $fh, '<', __FILE__;
my $string = do { local $/; <$fh> };
my $modules = $scanner->scan_string($string);
## scan\_module($module\_name)
Scan and figure out prereqs which is instance of `CPAN::Meta::Requirements` by module name.
e.g.
my $modules = $scanner->scan_module('Perl::PrereqScanner::Lite');
## scan\_tokens($tokens)
Scan and figure out prereqs which is instance of `CPAN::Meta::Requirements` by tokens of [Compiler::Lexer](
https://metacpan.org/pod/Compiler::Lexer).
e.g.
open my $fh, '<', __FILE__;
my $string = do { local $/; <$fh> };
my $tokens = Compiler::Lexer->new->tokenize($string);
my $modules = $scanner->scan_tokens($tokens);
## add\_extra\_scanner($scanner\_name)
Add extra scanner to scan and figure out prereqs. This module loads extra scanner such as `Perl::PrereqScanner::Lite::Scanner::$scanner_name` if specifying scanner name through this method.
If you want to specify an extra scanner from external package without `Perl::PrereqScanner::Lite::` prefix, you can prepend `+` to `$scanner_name`. Like so `+Your::Awesome::Scanner`.
Extra scanners that are default supported are followings;
- [Perl::PrereqScanner::Lite::Scanner::Moose](
https://metacpan.org/pod/Perl::PrereqScanner::Lite::Scanner::Moose)
- [Perl::PrereqScanner::Lite::Scanner::Version](
https://metacpan.org/pod/Perl::PrereqScanner::Lite::Scanner::Version)
# ADDITIONAL NOTATION
If `no_prereq` is enabled by `new()` (like so: `Perl::PrereqScanner::Lite->new({no_prereq => 1})`),
this module recognize `## no prereq` optional comment. The requiring declaration with this comment on the same line will be ignored as prereq.
For example
use Foo;
use Bar; ## no prereq
In this case `Foo` is the prereq, however `Bar` is ignored.

Yes, it's true. This design is so ugly and not smart.
So I have to redesign and reimplement this module, and I have some plans.
If you have a mind to expand this module by implementing external scanner,
please be careful.
Every `scan_*` calls must not affect to any others through the
singleton of this module (called it `$c` in [
