CPAN::FindDependencies::MakeMaker - retrieve dependencies specified in Makefile.PL's

Dependencies are also specified in Makefile.PL files used with the ExtUtils::MakeMaker module.

getreqs_from_mm

Expects the contents of a Makefile.PL as a string.

Returns a hash reference of the form:

    {
        Module::Name => 0.1,
        ...
        Last::Module => 9.0,
    }

This module assumes that its input is trustworthy and can be safely executed. The only protection in place is that a vague attempt is made to catch a Makefile.PL that just sits there doing nothing - either if it's in a loop, or sitting at a prompt. But even that can be defeated by an especially naughty person.

Makefile.PLs that have external dependencies/calls that can fatally die will not be able to be successfully parsed and then scanned for dependencies, e.g. libwww-perl.5808.
