NAME

CPAN::ReverseDependencies - given a CPAN dist name, find other CPAN dists that use it

SYNOPSIS

 use CPAN::ReverseDependencies;
 
 my $revua = CPAN::ReverseDependencies->new();
 my @deps  = $revua->get_reverse_dependencies('Module-Path');

DESCRIPTION

CPAN::ReverseDependencies takes the name of a CPAN distribution and returns a list containing names of other CPAN distributions that have declared a dependence on the specified distribution.

It uses the MetaCPAN API to look up the reverse dependencies, so obviously you have to be online for this module to work.

This module will croak in a number of situations:

  • If you request reverse dependencies for a non-existent distribution;

  • If you're not online;

  • If there's a problem with MetaCPAN itself.
