Module::ScanDeps isn't pluggable, either. In fact, none of the dep scanners
I've come across are.
Some of the heuristics I need are general purpose, some are specific to my
company's code. But they fall into two categories:
* A module which loads another named module. base.pm and aliased.pm are
examples. For these your dep scanner needs to know the syntax of the
loading module. Sometime of these are on CPAN and thus of general use,
some are not.
use base 'Foo::Bar';
use aliased 'Foo::Bar';
use aliased;
my $Customer = alias 'My::Company::Customer';
* Loading of modules on demand, such as Class::Autouse's superloader.
In this case your dep scanner has to find class method calls and infer
module use from that.
use Class::Autouse qw(:superloader);
print CGI->b("Wow!");
