in reply to How do I know if a package is on my server?

Testing if "This::Package" is available (installed):

$ perl -MThis::Package -e 1

For example:

$ perl -MB::Deparse -e 1 $ perl -MThis::Package -e 1 Can't locate This/Package.pm in @INC (you may need to install the This +::Package module) (@INC contains: /home/netbook/tmp/perl-5.24/lib/sit +e_perl/5.24.1/i686-linux-thread-multi /home/netbook/tmp/perl-5.24/lib +/site_perl/5.24.1 /home/netbook/tmp/perl-5.24/lib/5.24.1/i686-linux-t +hread-multi /home/netbook/tmp/perl-5.24/lib/5.24.1 .). BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
Note: if installed, no output is shown.

Have fun!
