How to find all modules, required by a given CPAN module

N

News KF

Hi,

I'd like to install the Pixie module (CPAN)

Is there a fast way of finding recursively all modules needed by Pixie.

Currently my methodology is less than satisfying.

I make and make test the Pixie module.

If it fails I'm looking at the error messages and try to locate and
install the modules mentioned in the error messages.

Then I retry to build / test pixie again.

I'm quite sure, that there is a better way of doing it.



Thanks in advance for any pointers and bye

And you haven't even tried:

perldoc -q module

yet?

The CPAN module will find and install the dependencies for you:

perldoc CPAN
