Listing Installed Modules

Hello,

I am considering an installation of the slashdot code on a development server that I know does not have all the required Perl modules (or more likely wrong versions). Is there a command line option or short script that will list all the installed modules and their versions? I have searched the archives, perl.com faqs, and some Perl books but have come up empty.

Many thanks!

HI Patrick

this is one to locate DBI drivers perhaps it can be modified
-----------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl

use DBI;

my @drivers = DBI->available_drivers();

foreach my $driver (@drivers) {
print "Driver: $drivern";
}
exit

----------------------------------

have you tried the locate command?

eg. locate *.pm

this will list all the .pm files on your machine.

or a specific module you are looking for

eg the DBI module
# locate DBI.pm

Hope this is of some help

Thanks for the suggestion!

I used find (Solaris) to isolate the *.pm files but that does not give me any versioning information. If I get real interested in the problem, it looks like I will have to write a script to find all the modules and then extract the version information. Seems like that should be a command line option, particularly as the number of modules (and their dependence upon each other) grows.

Thanks again!

Patrick
