The program contains a collection of tools for analyzing Perl code. Analyzing a static program runs headlong into the halting problem -- no automatic process can find all infinite loops, or fully model dynamic data generated within an arbitrary program. If you need to solve that kind of problem, a runtime debugger, human insight, and good programming practices go a long way. On the other hand, if you're reading a new Perl code for the first time, you've come to the right place.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
