Introspection-like things that you can do to CPAN modules. (or Perl code generally)

Parsing things from module source code

• PPI
• Module::Metadata — included in Perl core since v5.13.9
• package declarations
  • Module::Metadata
  • Module::Extract::Namespaces
  • Moose classes
    • Module::Install::ProvidesClass
    • Class::Discover
• dependencies
  • Module::Used
  • Module::Extract::Use
  • Perl::PrereqScanner
  • Module::CheckDeps
• Class::Inspector

Code doesn't even have to reside on local machine

• Pod::Cpandoc — perldoc that works for modules you don't have installed
