ActivePerl Default Installed Packages

[ImJustAFriend]

Hello Monks. I have a really random question to ask which Google is not helping me with. I recently completed a script for distribution to my team. I always include a write up of how to install ActivePerl and any additional required packages for the script. In this case, though, I have so many modules installed in my machine that I no longer know which are included with the installation, and which I have added manually. Does anyone know how to find a listing of all default ActivePerl packages, short of me uninstalling and reinstalling on my PC?

Thanks in advance!!

Super Search is your friend, What modules are shipped with ActivePerl on Windows in the default installation?

Definitely not a package list, or a modlist, but a module doc list :) close enough :) activestate-corelist-perltoc.pl

Also, I think if you bring up the command prompt and just type in ppm and hit enter, a scrollable window interface will come up with all the installed packages

But this isn't what OP wants to know. They're specifically looking for the default modules shipped with ActiveState, not a list of everything currently installed.

Well, maybe a stupid answer, but if you can find out the date at which a specific module was installed, you can also know whether it was installed together with Perl or at a later point.

From ppm:

ppm query [--case|nocase] [--abstract|author] PATTERN

"Searches for 'PATTERN' (a regular expression) in the name of any installed package. If a search is successful, information about the matching package(s) is displayed. If 'PATTERN' is omitted, information about all installed packages will be displayed."

Update:

Oops, i was too fast. That wasn't what you really wanted, sorry.

Write a script that lists all .pm files in @INC based on File::Find (cf. Re: How do you use the if pragma?) that sends the list back to you as email. Distribute to a few selected users in your place ;)
