Find Perl Modules Installed.

[prhodes]

Hi All, I'm trying to find an **easy** way to work out what modules are installed. perl -V gives a bunch of paths. I can see one particular modules (sybperl) located in one of those paths, but this is not particularly satisfactory. I need to generate a list of all the modules. Does anybody know how to do this. Thanks v. much in advance. Peter.

This question has been asked and answered many times and is now available in many FAQ documents.

Here is the FAQ answer you're looking for. You might also be interested in finding out which version of a paticular module you have installed.

Hope this helps

One way is to use ExtUtils::Installed

use ExtUtils::Installed;
my $inst = ExtUtils::Installed->new();
print join "\n", $inst->modules();

for more informations: ExtUtils::Installed

There is also a free CGI script from Scriptsolutions that shows you all the installed modules and other useful informations.

The script (perldiver) is located here

If you type in 'perl modules installed' into the search box at the top of the page you will find a plethora of nodes on this very subject.

The autobundle command of the CPAN shell figures out how to write it, so perhaps you could steal some code from there.

Something that's been useful to me in the past is the pmtools suite from Tom Christiansen. I can't seem to find a working link to them, so I've uploaded the tarball to my server.

http://ampa.pair.com/~mikeirw/pmtools-1.00.tar.gz

The one that you'll want to check out is called 'pminst'.

Does anyone have an updated location for pmtools? This post is 2 years old and the link is dead. Or has pmtools morphed into some other package that I can use to find installed pms?

Debian maintains a pmtools package, and you can get the source at http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/pmtools/pmtools_1.00.orig.tar.gz.

Quick and Dirty answer

perl -e 'use UnknownModule'

if you get something like

Can't locate UnknownModule.pm in @INC (@INC contains: blah blah blah

Then it is not installed.

Don't remember where I got this code, I can't take credit for writing it. I probably found it searching here, infact, I'm positive that I did.

Uses File::Find, quite handy..

I know its lame to not remember the author.

Here:

#!/usr/bin/perl
# list all of the perl modules installed
use File::Find ;
for (@INC) { find(\&modules,$_) ; }

sub modules
{
        if (-d && /^[a-z]/) { $File::Find::prune = 1 ; return }
        return unless /\.pm$/ ;
        my $fullPath = "$File::Find::dir/$_";
        $fullPath =~ s!\.pm$!!;
        $fullPath =~ s#/(\w+)$#::$1# ;
        print "$fullPath \n";
}

perl -e '$a="3567"; $b=hex($a); printf("%2X\n",$a);'

Using ActivePerl? Try
ppm>query

SMiTZ

[crazyinsomniac]

Which would only return a list of the modules you installed using ppm (and it's query *, not just query).
