Bug #79273 for Module-Extract-Use: Included indirectly loaded modules

Tue Aug 28 23:41:53 2012 RSAVAGE [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Hi brian With code like this: package Controller; use parent 'CGI::Snapp'; use Capture::Tiny 'capture'; 1; your module reports: parent Capture::Tiny but Perl::PrereqScanner reports: Capture::Tiny parent CGI::Snapp Likewise for 'use base X::Y;'. Cheers Ron

I've been thinking about this issue. I'm not trying to create a prereq scanner, so I don't want to infer information like that. However, I want other people to be able to infer that information so I should provide the import list. Another layer could then mutate the data. I could even provide that other layer.

The current docs already note the recursive feature as a "to do" item, and I'll add notes to the docs to make a more forceful statement about not recursing to find out what another module may do. I'm moving this to a wish list item.
