NAME
    Module::List::Wildcard - A fork of Module::List that supports wildcard

VERSION
    This document describes version 0.004005 of Module::List::Wildcard (from
    Perl distribution Module-List-Wildcard), released on 2019-09-03.

SYNOPSIS
     use Module::List::Wildcard qw(list_modules);

     $id_modules = list_modules("Data::ID::", { list_modules => 1});
     $prefixes = list_modules("", { list_prefixes => 1, recurse => 1 });

    Wildcard support:

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

    "all" option:

     $modules = list_modules("Module::", { list_modules => 1, all => 1});

DESCRIPTION
    This module is a fork of Module::List. It's exactly like Module::List
    0.004, except for the following differences:

    *   lower startup overhead (with some caveats)

        It strips the usage of Exporter, 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 "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,
         }
