=head1 NAME

Graph-Dependency - Generate dependency graphs for a Perl package.

=head1 INSTALLATION

To install this module type the following:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test

=head1 REQUIRES

You need the following:

Perl (well, duh!)
wget (to acceess search.cpan.org)
Module::CoreList
Graph::Easy (for the graphs)
graphviz (for png output)

=head1 USAGES

./graph YAML
./graph Graph::Easy html
./graph Graph::Easy png svg html

The output will be written to C. The META.yml
file for each module will be written to C.

=head1 BUGS

=over 10

=item *

The META.yml files are cached, but there is no mechanism to invalidate
or re-validate them. If you want to refresh the data, delete everything
in C.

=item *

Modules without a META.yml file will not generate dependencies. Parsing
of Makefile.PL is not implemented yet.

=item *

Modules that are in the core of I Perl version are marked as "in-core".
If you have an older Perl, you might still need to install that module
first to satisfy the dependencies.

=item *

Getting the author name from the package requires a needless trip to
L and might even fail. It would be cool
(I<*wink*> I<*nudge*>) if search.cpan.org could redirect to the proper
file when given:

http://search.cpan.org/src/FOO-BAR/META.yml
