Hi Monks. I have a little snippet of code I used to use to check to see if CGI::Session is installed on a server: 
use ExtUtils::Installed;
my $installed = ExtUtils::Installed->new();
print "and ...";
if (grep(/CGI::Session/,$installed->modules() )) {
    print "found it.";
} else {
    print "didn't find it.";
}
exit;

This check doesn't seem to work anymore ... I have CGI:Session installed and it works fine, but this routine doesn't show it. I have a similar one to show all installed modules: 
print "<p>Finding all installed modules...<br>\n";
my $installed2 = ExtUtils::Installed->new();
foreach my $module ($installed2->modules) {
  my $version = $installed2->version($module) || "<no version info>";
  print("Found module $module Version $version<br>\n");
}

and it only shows the perl core: 
Finding all installed modules...
Found module Perl Version 5.10.0
Script finished.

I would actually prefer an all-perl solution that doesn't use grep so it is more OS-independent .... but why doesn't this show me any installed module names? (or ... hmmm, is Session part of the core now?)

Thanks!

In reply to ExtUtils::Installed .... has it changed? by mwhiting
