in thread How do I detect what modules are not being used?

Hi,

You could maybe just mess with @INC or programmtically rename each module directory and then perl -c each script and look for the "Undefined subroutine &main:: at line" errors

    hakkr,
    This is similar to the approach I outlined (commenting out each module). This is certainly better than nothing, but there are still plenty of edge cases that would make this less than a 100% solution. For instance, if a module is required inside an eval block of a conditional, then only under the right circumstances will making the module unavailable show up. A comprehensive test suite is needed to ensure removing the module will have no ill effect.

    Cheers - L~R
