  Description     : Automate maintenance of Perl import statements

This distribution provides the perlimports command line interface
(CLI), which automates the cleanup and maintenance of Perl use and
require statements. Loosely inspired by goimports, this tool aims to
be part of your linting and tidying workflow, in much the same way you
might use perltidy or perlcritic.

For a detailed discussion of the problems this tool attempts to solve,
see this "Conference in the Cloud" talk from June 2021: Where did that
Symbol Come From? [1]

Lintian would like to use the functionality to protect against missing
imports in rarely used code paths during parallel execution. [2]
Thanks!

Kind regards,
Felix Lechner
