Re: Accessing list of package names in a module

Just one remark for better understanding: Each imported package is listed in the ~~namespace~~ symbol table of the importing package.

so by scanning the namespaces starting from the root "main" you should find the desired infos. Packages are keys ending with a "::".

use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper \%:: ;
[download]

you will see entries like 'Data::' => *{'::Data::'},

so recursively you can get all the infos you want.

Cheers LanX

Aah, that's the one. Nice and simple and takes advantage of goodies hidden internally . Thank you!	[reply]

Symbol tables are hardly "goodies hidden internally", they are documented in perlmod. Though if you come from other programming languages it's not obvious that something like that even exists :-)	[reply]
