Modules

[Guest]

Hi,

I am new with programming in perl. I was wondering, if there is an archive
with perl modules which can be downloaded and used as well as a description
of the functionalities of the modules.

What happened when you googled for

Your question is frequently asked. You are expected to read the FAQ list
before posting:

perldoc -q module

PS: Does this also count as a SAQ?

It comes close, as it has "perl" and "archive", but not "comprehensive"
and "network".

"comprehensive" and "network".

But it also has "module" which is the only word needed to find the
answer ;-)

Yes, but the Google is answering the question, not the question itself.
As I understand it, a "Self Answering Question" itself must hold the
answer, like "How can I find the index of a substring with a string?" As
it would be difficult to formulate a question which contained "CPAN",
the closest one could get would be a question containing the words
"comprehensive", "perl", "archive", and "network": eg "Where can I find
a comprehensive perl archive on the network".
And the OP's question already contained two out of four.

Just a nitpick:

The question is answered by typing

perldoc -q module

not a Google query.

OK, so I give up. I'll consider this a SAQ in spirit.

Sorry, I missed that part ("perldoc -q module").

I agree.
