One of the missing thing on the actual search.cpan.org is the lack of informations about a distribution's dependencies. So my first contribution to the CPANHQ project was to add such informations. - -<img src='/imgs/cpanhq-dep.webp' alt='cpanhq deps' align=left'> - -For each distributions, a graph is generated for the this distribution. For this, I use [Graph::Easy](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Graph::Easy) and data available from the CPANHQ database. I alsa include a simple list of the dependencies after the graph. - -Only the first level dependencies are displayed, as the distribution's metadata are analysed when the request is made. I could follow all the dependencies when the request is made, but for some distribution it could take a really long time, and it's not suitable for this kind of services. - -**edit**: you can find [CPANHQ on GitHub](http://github.com/bricas/cpanhq/tree/master). |
