in reply to How to get a list of available modules from a cpan mirror

Is there some easy way to get cpan to tell me what modules are available?

Use cpanp -m regex

$ cpanp -m App::Ack 1 App::Ack 1.96 PETDANCE 2 App::Ack::Plugin PETDANCE 3 App::Ack::Plugin::Basic PETDANCE 4 App::Ack::Repository PETDANCE 5 App::Ack::Repository::Basic PETDANCE 6 App::Ack::Resource PETDANCE 7 App::Ack::Resource::Basic PETDANCE

Or, start cpan, and type h, to get interactive help, but remember, cpan -m is not the same as cpan> m

cpan[1]> m /App::Ack/ Database was generated on Thu, 24 May 2012 20:07:03 GMT Module = App::Ack (PETDANCE/ack-1.96.tar.gz) Module = App::Ack::Plugin (PETDANCE/ack-1.96.tar.gz) Module = App::Ack::Plugin::Basic (PETDANCE/ack-1.96.tar.gz) Module = App::Ack::Repository (PETDANCE/ack-1.96.tar.gz) Module < App::Ack::Repository::Basic (PETDANCE/ack-1.96.tar.gz) Module = App::Ack::Resource (PETDANCE/ack-1.96.tar.gz) Module < App::Ack::Resource::Basic (PETDANCE/ack-1.96.tar.gz) 7 items found
