switches and options

on Aug 01, 2008 at 12:49 UTC ( [id://701678]=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

where can i find an explanation of the command-line options (perl -e, perl -M, etc.) which are mentioned in the man page but unexplained, and only partially so with "perl --help"?

Also: is there a simple way to list all installed modules?

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    perldoc perlrun from the command line, online from perlrun or from your Start menu (Programs --> ActivePerl --> Documentation).

    Hi ,

    perldoc perlrun I think answers your first question.

    WRT listing of modules, see the thread: Listing all installed modules

    HTH ,

    At last, a user level that overstates my experience :-))

    Pod::Webserver is a module that lets you see all that and more from port 8020. Install the module and run podwebserver from the command line. Use the -H and -p arguments to change the host and port, if desired. Point your browser to http://localhost:8020/ or whatever port you chose to see all installed modules, their docs, and perl docs on one page. Bookmark as desired. (thanks to Perl Hacks)
