countperl - Man Page
count lines, packages, subs, and complexity of Perl files.
Usage
countperl FILE_OR_DIRECTORY [FILE_OR_DIRECTORY ...] [--html] [--help] [--method-modifiers=a,b,c]
Required Arguments
At least one file or directory path must be supplied.
Options
- --help
 Prints documentation to STDERR.
- --html
 Produces HTML output instead of the plain-text default.
- --json
 Produces JSON output instead of the plain-text default.
- --method-modifiers=a,b,c
 A comma-separated list of method modifiers to be recognised, see Moose::Manual::MethodModifiers for details. If unspecified, the default list is before,after,around.
Configuration
N/A. Currently no support for any configuration files.
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
