it went corrupt... i had selinux enabled enforcing (policy).. AND too many raw files i had tar zipped and installed from tmp.. a bachslash and a bad chmod number didn't mix well with selinux and both the backslash and trying to reconfigure corrupt /tmp which eventually corrupt the ENTIRE system..... all messages and warnings lead back to /tmp...

pminst

PMINST(1p)						User Contributed Perl Documentation						PMINST(1p)

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
