It'll produce a svg graph in the current directory. Use your browser to view it. Now, to get to the point where you can run that command, you'll need to install CPANDB::Generator. Then run this: That will fetch the sqlite database necessary to get the dependencies. It'll take time, so be patient. Next, make sure that your system can handle svg. Here's a bundle that I used, and, trust me, it works. The whole process will take a couple of hours, so hang tight. Then you're good to go.

As cpangraph only produces a (nice) image, I still prefer text (and not that many dependencies. Starting with CPANDB, created this script, that provides me with the desired output:

cpan-mangler depends on AnyEvent, which is MLEHMANware, and thus forbidden. Sorry, it is a no-go. Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn | [reply] |

For you, it may be a no-go, but there are many other people who use it. And API-wise, AnyEvent isn't bad, and I think it's a better API than POE, for example. I understand that you are suspicious of modules because of their author, and I have such a "blacklist" of authors as well. But I don't find it constructive to reject modules without telling people at least why you find them unacceptable to use, especially if it is for reasons having more to do with the author than with the module(s). | [reply] |
