in reply to Re: Removing unused Perl modules
in thread Removing unused Perl modules

Yes, that's one of the big problems with Perl modules. I have a fairly crude but working script which does this for C:

Remove unnecessary #include headers from C files

I saw this post yesterday:

Include-what-you-use: A tool to analyze includes in C and C++ source files (include-what-you-use.org)

But nothing at all for Perl. I guess what I'll probably go with, if nobody has a better idea, is something like that script for C files, like comment out the "use" line and see if it passes its tests.

    That sounds very reasonable.
