as of my most recent commit
(a07f84b4bd9bc89dfa180807cb775255e1a69c23), EFS::Perl::Depends is
functionally complete. it's lacking documentation, but that's well
under a day's work to complete. there's a few more test cases to be
added, but code coverage is high enough that it's ready for prime
time. here's the latest test coverage report:
---------------------------- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------
------ ------
File stmt bran cond sub pod
time total
---------------------------- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------
------ ------
lib/EFS/Perl/Depends.pm 83.3 63.2 73.0 100.0 0.0
0.0 76.0
---------------------------- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------
------ ------
there are parts of this code (branches and statements in the BEGIN
block) which are quite difficult to test, and some conditionals which
are unlikely to ever occur, so we'll never reach 100% test coverage.
the pod coverage, at 0%, is an obvious place for improvement, as i
mentioned above.
phil has started integrating this code with sitecustomize.pl to create
efs perl releases, and based on a private message, he sees room for
improvement in startup time. i agree with him: every module that
sitecustomize.pl and EPD load increases the startup time for
perl--every time it's invoked (even for one-liners). therefore, we'll
have to concentrate on making EPD and sitecustomize.pl load fewer
modules. it's not difficult work, but it does take some time.
that said, this remaining work is an optimization. it's a necessary
optimization for anyone who's actually using perl in efs and expecting
load times similar to what they have today, but again, EPD is
functionally complete.
one more piece of the puzzle...
