After reading
existing PERL modules?, I decided to write a code to list all available modules without a dependence on any particular module.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
foreach (sort { lc($a) cmp lc($b) } map { `cd $_ && find . -name '*.pm
+'` } @INC) { s/^\.\/(.*)\.pm$/$1/; s/\//::/g; print; }
I grant the above code isn't particularly obfuscated, but I was attempting to produce a minimalist one-liner. It ended up taking me the better half of a day, but I learned quite a bit about perl while trying to reduce my code.
Can someone make it even shorter still (preferably with an accompanying explanation if obfuscation warrants) so that I may learn from the code of my fellow monks of this hallowed monastery.
