my $eco = Perl6::Ecosystem.new;
say $eco.modules;
say $eco.depended;
say $eco.depends-on;
DESCRIPTION
A tool to analyze the Perl 6 ecosystem by downloading all modules and finding out how they depend on each other.
METHODS
method new( )
Creates the object, downloading and filling it with information. Error output goes to /tmp/perl6-eco-err.txt
method modules
Returns a hash with module names, dependencies and URLs.
method depended
Returns a hash with module names and the number of other modules it depends on.
method depends-on
Returns a hash with module names and its dependencies.
method river-scores --> Hash
Computes the "river-score" by looking at all dependency chains and giving a score according to the position. That is, if there's this dependenci chain
Foo → Bar → Baz
Foo will have a 0 score for appearing in the first position, up to Baz which will have score equal to 2. The total score of every module is computed by adding all scores.
