NAME
pminst - find modules whose names match this pattern SYNOPSIS
pminst [-s] [-l] [pattern] DESCRIPTION
Without argumnets, show the names of all installed modules. Given a pattern, show all module names that match it. The -l flag will show the full pathname. The -s flag will separate the base directory from @INC from the module portion itself. EXAMPLES
$ pminst (lists all installed modules) $ pminst Carp CGI::Carp Carp $ pminst ^IO:: IO::Socket::INET IO::Socket::UNIX IO::Select IO::Socket IO::Poll IO::Handle IO::Pipe IO::Seekable IO::Dir IO::File $ pminst '(?i)io' IO::Socket::INET IO::Socket::UNIX IO::Select IO::Socket IO::Poll IO::Handle IO::Pipe IO::Seekable IO::Dir IO::File IO Pod::Functions The -s flag provides output with the directory separated by a space: $ pminst -s | sort +1 (lists all modules, sorted by name, but with where they came from) $ oldperl -S pminst -s IO /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00404 IO::File /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00404 IO::Handle /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00404 IO::Pipe /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00404 IO::Seekable /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00404 IO::Select /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00404 IO::Socket /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00404 IO /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl LWP::IO /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl LWP::TkIO /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl Tk::HTML::IO /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl Tk::IO /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl IO::Stringy /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl IO::Wrap /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl IO::ScalarArray /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl IO::Scalar /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl IO::Lines /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl IO::WrapTie /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl IO::AtomicFile The -l flag gives full paths: $ filsperl -S pminst -l Thread /usr/local/filsperl/lib/5.00554/i686-linux-thread/Thread/Queue.pm /usr/local/filsperl/lib/5.00554/i686-linux-thread/Thread/Semaphore.pm /usr/local/filsperl/lib/5.00554/i686-linux-thread/Thread/Signal.pm /usr/local/filsperl/lib/5.00554/i686-linux-thread/Thread/Specific.pm /usr/local/filsperl/lib/5.00554/i686-linux-thread/Thread.pm AUTHORS and COPYRIGHTS Copyright (C) 1999 Tom Christiansen.
