Some ideas from a discussion on #debian-perl about this: * Parse the Perl code using PPI instead of Module::ScanDeps - Change Module::ScanDeps to use PPI instead? * Parse the Perl code using Perl's parsing instead - Would require getting Perl upstream to export a module - or possibly the libperl might have something? * Add a Perl module that exports data about imported code - PERL5OPT=-MNeedRestart - divert /usr/bin/perl to a script that adds -MNeedRestart * Add code to Perl upstream that exports data about imported code Ultimately though, needrestart shouldn't have to parse code (as root?) in order to figure out what code a particular interpreter process, for *any* language (including Perl, Python, shell etc) has loaded. That will require defining a standard for how the processes should export that information and then sending patches for all interpreters. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
