Leon Brocard (aka acme) is an orange-loving Perl eurohacker with many varied contributions to the Perl community, including the GraphViz module on the CPAN. YAPC::Europe was all his fault. He is still looking for a Perl Monger group he can start which begins with the letter 'D'.

What files does your Perl load?

[ #38929 ]

It can interesting to see what files your Perl loads. One way to do this is to use the Linux::Inotify2 module which uses inotify to monitor file changes. Something like:

#!/home/acme/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Linux::Inotify2;
use File::Find::Rule;
use Perl6::Say;

my $inotify = new Linux::Inotify2
    or die "Unable to create new inotify object: $!";

foreach my $inc (@INC) {
    next if $inc eq '.';
    foreach my $directory ( File::Find::Rule->new->directory->in($inc) ) {
        $inotify->watch( $directory, IN_ACCESS )
            or die "watch creation failed";
    }
}

while () {
    my @events = $inotify->read;
    unless ( @events > 0 ) {
        print "read error: $!";
        last;
    }
    foreach my $event (@events) {
        say $event->fullname if $event->IN_ACCESS;
    }
}

Which outputs something along the lines of the following if you load Moose by running perl -e 'use Moose' in another terminal:

No, I'm not sure why it's accessing some files multiple times. Now, who can change this into a CPAN module popularity contest?
