NAME
    Module::List::More - Module::List, with more options

VERSION
    This document describes version 0.004009 of Module::List::More (from
    Perl distribution Module-List-More), released on 2020-09-22.

SYNOPSIS
    Use like you would Module::List, e.g.:

     use Module::List::More qw(list_modules);

     $id_modules = list_modules("Data::ID::", { list_modules=>1, return_path=>1, return_library_path=>1, return_version=>1});
     # Sample result:
     # {
     #   'Data::ID::One' => {
     #     module_path=>"/home/s1/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.30.2/lib/site_perl/5.30.2/Data/ID/One.pm",
     #     library_path=>"/home/s1/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.30.2/lib/site_perl/5.30.2",
     #     module_version=>'0.01',
     #   },
     #   'Data::ID::Two' => {
     #     module_path=>"/home/s1/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.30.2/lib/site_perl/5.30.2/Data/ID/Two.pm",
     #     library_path=>"/home/s1/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.30.2/lib/site_perl/5.30.2",
     #     module_version=>'0.02',
     #   },
     # }

     {
       local @INC = ('lib', @INC);
       $id_modules = list_modules("Data::ID::", { list_modules=>1, all=>1, return_path=>1, return_version=>1});
     }
     # Sample result:
     # {
     #   'Data::ID::One' => {
     #     module_path=>["lib/Data/ID/One.pm", "/home/s1/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.30.2/lib/site_perl/5.30.2/Data/ID/One.pm"],
     #     module_version=>[undef, '0.01'],
     #   },
     #   'Data::ID::Two' => {
     #     module_path=>["/home/s1/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.30.2/lib/site_perl/5.30.2/Data/ID/Two.pm"],
     #     module_version=>['0.02'],
     #   },
     # }

DESCRIPTION
    This module is like Module::List, except for the following differences:

    *   lower startup overhead (with some caveats)

        It avoids using Exporter and implements its own import(). It avoids
        IO::Dir, Carp, File::Spec, with the goal of saving a few
        milliseconds (a casual test on my PC results in 11ms vs 39ms).

        Path separator is hard-coded as "/".

    *   Recognize "all" option

        If set to true and "return_path" is also set to true, will return
        all found paths for each module instead of just the first found one.
        The values of result will be an arrayref containing all found paths.

    *   Recognize "return_library_path" option

        If set to true, will return a "library_path" result key, which is
        the associated @INC entry that produces the result.

    *   Recognize "return_version" option

        If set to true, will parse module source file with
        ExtUtils::MakeMaker's "parse_version" and return the result in
        "module_version" key. If version cannot be detected, a proper
        undefined value "undef" (instead of the string 'undef') is returned.

    *   Recognize "wildcard" option

        This boolean option can be set to true to recognize wildcard pattern
        in prefix. Wildcard patterns such as jokers ("?", "*", "**"),
        classes ("[a-z]"), as well as braces ("{One,Two}") are supported.
        "**" implies recursive listing.

        Examples:

         list_modules("Module::P*", {wildcard=>1, list_modules=>1});

        results in something like:

         {
             "Module::Patch"             => undef,
             "Module::Path"              => undef,
             "Module::Pluggable"         => undef,
         }

        while:

         list_modules("Module::P**", {wildcard=>1, list_modules=>1});

        results in something like:

         {
             "Module::Patch"             => undef,
             "Module::Path"              => undef,
             "Module::Path::More"        => undef,
             "Module::Pluggable"         => undef,
             "Module::Pluggable::Object" => undef,
         }

        while:

         list_modules("Module::**le", {wildcard=>1, list_modules=>1});

        results in something like:

         {
             "Module::Depakable"                => undef,
             "Module::Install::Admin::Bundle"   => undef,
             "Module::Install::Admin::Makefile" => undef,
             "Module::Install::Bundle"          => undef,
             "Module::Install::Makefile"        => undef,
             "Module::Pluggable"                => undef,
         }

HISTORY
    This module began its life as PERLANCAR::Module::List, my personal
    experimental fork of Module::List. The experiment has also produced
    other forks like Module::List::Tiny, Module::List::Wildcard.
