Package and sub indexing software available for efficient organization and storage.
The File::PackageIndexer Perl module is a powerful tool for parsing pieces of Perl code using PPI to locate all subs and their packages, along with identifying the inheritance of the packages. This module currently recognizes several constructs, such as package statements, plain subroutine declarations, Class::Accessor-like accessor generation, Class::XSAccessor and Class::XSAccessor::Array, use base/parent inheritance declaration, our/@ISA = ... and @ISA = ... inheritance declaration, and push/unshift @ISA, ... inheritance modification.
Importantly, the inheritance detection feature is able to correctly recognize the effect of special blocks like BEGIN {...}, while ignoring END blocks. To use this module, simply start by including it via the use statement and invoking it with ease. For instance, use File::PackageIndexer and create a new instance with the new method.
Then set the cleaning of output with the clean method and parse the desired code using the parse method, either via a PPI document or code string. The output format returns a hash reference with a name, subs, and isa key that contains the package name, subroutine details, and inheritance information.
To display the output, you can utilize the Data::Dumper module, which should print the package details that include subs such as 'new', 'foo', and list the SuperClass1 and SuperClass2 inheritance. This module is a must-have for Perl developers who need to manage inherited code bases and want to have an accurate reflection of their code's implementation details.
