dHarry has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Monks,

I want to produce a functional calltree of C programs. C::Analyzer seemed just the the right candidate to do that. My script:

use strict;
use warnings;
use C::Analyzer;

my $analyzer   = new Analyzer(
        _inputPath => "C:/Dev-Cpp/drl_ral",
        _cppPath   => "C:/Dev-Cpp/bin",
        _inputOption => "dir_and_subdir",
    );

[download]

However I run into the following error message:

Can't locate object method "new" via package "Analyzer" (perhaps you forgot to load "Analyzer"?)

I am pretty sure it installs correctly and Analyzer.pm does contain a new method. Any idea why I get the message or better: how to solve it?

Cheers
dHarry

      After reading the documentation I don't think, that the C:: ist your problem, but I have no further idea.

      The documentation might be wrong, though.

        Since the source uses package C::Analyzer, not package Analyzer, that's the way that it must be addressed in code (short of some sort of aliasing operation). Thus, as you say, the documentation is wrong. I have e-mailed the maintainer to let him know.

    If you'd like to alias it, you could use aliased: 
    use aliased 'C::Analyzer';

my $analyzer = new Analyzer(.....
