installed modules (how to check?)

[Mike Starkie]

How do i determine which modules are installed with perl? I need to
determine if I have the following:

URI
libnet
MIME-Base64
Net-FTP-Commo
libwww-perl
Net_SSLeay.pm
Crypt-SSLeay (version 0.19 for HTTPS proxy and certificates)

if it turns out I don't, where can i get more info on them, how to
install modules and check their dependencies?

http://search.cpan.org


how to
install modules and check their dependencies?

perldoc -q module

What modules and extensions are available for Perl? What is CPAN?
What does CPAN/src/... mean?

How do I install a module from CPAN?

How do I keep my own module/library directory?

you might just want to search your harddrive for *.pm! then learn how to use
perldoc to read the docs for each of your modules.

[(15:39:03) apeiron@prophecy ~] locate / | grep -c '\.pm$'
1773
[(15:39:06) apeiron@prophecy ~]

That would be a little like finding an electronic needle in the massive
haystack that is my hard disk.

FYI, Robin does not have a great track record here.

As usual, his suggestion is worse than worthless.

He forgets that there is a distinction between an installed Perl module
and a stray .pm file in a temp directory etc.

save this to a file, chmod +x it and don't lose it!

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use ExtUtils::Installed;

#print installed modules

print "Here are your installed modules:\n";
print "-------------------------------------------------------\n";
my $inst = ExtUtils::Installed->new();
my @modules = $inst->modules();
print "$_\n" for @modules;
