NAME¶

countperl - count lines, packages, subs and complexity of Perl files.

SYNOPSIS¶

countperl FILE_OR_DIRECTORY [FILE_OR_DIRECTORY ....]

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS¶

At least one file or directory path must be supplied.

EXIT STATUS¶

Exits zero on success, non-zero on failure.

DESCRIPTION¶

countperl uses Perl::Metrics::Simple to examines the named files and recursivesly searches named directories for Perl files. Perl files are identified by Perl::Metrics::Simple->is_perl_file. Basically if the file ends in ".pl", ".pm", or ".t" or has what appears to be a perl shebang line. countperl produces a report on STDOUT of counts of total lines, packages, subroutines/methods, the minimum, maximum, mean, standard deviation, and median size and mccabe_complexity (cyclomatic complexity) of subroutines and the 'main' portion of each file (everything not in a subroutine.)

Output Format¶

Line counts do not include comments nor pod. The current output format is human-readable text:

    Perl files found:                3
    
    Counts
    ------
    total code lines:       856
    lines of non-sub code:  450
    packages found:           3
    subs/methods:            42
    
    Subroutine/Method Size
    ----------------------
    min:                  3 lines
    max:                  32 lines
    mean:                 9.67 lines
    std. deviation:       7.03
    median:               7.50
    
    McCabe Complexity
    -----------------
    Code not in any subroutine::
    min:                  1
    max                   1
    mean:                 1.00
    std. deviation:       0.00
    median:               1.00
    
    Subroutines/Methods:
    min:                  1
    max:                  5
    avg:                  1.00
    std. deviation:       1.36
    median:               1.00
