See perlmodlib, though this version is a little out of date. There should be a nice HTML version of it provided in ActiveState's documentation.	[reply]

You can view the HTML pod, probably at `C:\Perl\html\index.html` of all the ppm installed modules. If you have the docs here you have the module..... If you installed AS Perl elsewhere adjust the path as required. cheers tachyon s&&rsenoyhcatreve&&&s&n.+t&"$'$`$\"$\&"&ee&&y&srve&&d&&print	[reply] [d/l]

Try to run `perl -MModule::Name -e 1`. If the module is installed, it will print nothing; otherwise it will print an error: `[sgifford@sghome ucspi-tcp-0.88]$ perl -MFile::Copy -e 1 [sgifford@sghome ucspi-tcp-0.88]$ perl -MUninstalled::Module -e 1 Can't locate Uninstalled/Module.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/pe +rl5/5.6.1/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5. +6.1/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_per +l/5.6.0/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site +_perl .).

The CoreList module lists which modules are installed with which version of perl per default. (Though this won't include all the extras that ActiveState adds.) C.	[reply]

Hi, If you enter this command: `perldoc perllocal` This will display what modules have been installed since Perl was installed on your system, hence shows you moduloes not part of the core install.	[reply] [d/l]

If you want a list of things not part of the core, this is a job for ExtUtils::Installed... `perl -MExtUtils::Installed -e '$i=new ExtUtils::Installed; print join( +$/,$i->modules()),$/;'` [download] You can also use this module to list the contents of the core (or any other module). Remember, when you stare long into the abyss, you could have been home eating ice cream.	[reply] [d/l]

When a module has been installed using ActiveState's ppm.bat file, then the documentation is updated as well. Just click on 'Start->Programs->ActiveState ActivePerl .->Documentation' and read in listing from there.	[reply]

I also use ActiveState on my Windows 2000 box. The following code generates a list of all modules on my PC (including paths). I noticed that there were a lot of modules installed under the "C:\Perl\site\lib" subdirectory that I never added myself, so assuming that "C:\Perl\lib" is the only place for defaults would be a mistake. I also have a Unix version of the code below. Both my versions print to the screen and to a file (as a newbie, I kinda like seeing it "do" something so I know it's working!). ;-) #!/usr/bin/perl5 -w #finds all .pm modules on a PC use strict; use File::Find; my $report = "C:\\Temp\\results.txt"; open MYOUTPUT, "> $report" or die "Can't open $report: $!"; my @directories = ("C:\\Perl"); my @foundfiles; # Collect all .pm files below each directory in @directories # and put them into @foundfiles find ( sub { push @foundfiles, $File::Find::name if /\.pm$/ }, @directories); #and print them to my file "results.txt" print "$_\n" for @foundfiles; print MYOUTPUT "$_\n" for @foundfiles; close MYOUTPUT; [download] Hope that helps.

I use a script called Perl Diver that I grabbed years ago. It can be downloaded at: http://www.scriptsolutions.com/programs/free/perldiver/ It gives quite a bit of info regarding your system beyond just module info.	[reply]
