Find out What Perl Modules Already Installed On My System

Find out What Perl Modules Already Installed On My System

To find out what Perl modules are already installed on your system, you can use the following method:

1. Use the "perldoc" command: "perldoc" is a command-line utility that allows you to view the documentation of Perl modules and functions. To list all the installed Perl modules using "perldoc", follow these steps:
   2. Open a terminal and type the following command:

   perldoc -l "*"

   3. The output of the "perldoc" command includes a list of all the installed Perl modules, each on a separate line. For example:

   /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.26.1/auto/Encode/Encode.so
   /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.26.1/auto/Exporter/Heavy.al
   /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.26.1/auto/Fcntl/Fcntl.so
   /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.26.1/auto/File/Basename/Basename.so
   /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.26.1/auto/File/Copy/Copy.so
   /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.26.1/auto/File/Find/Find.so
   /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.26.1/auto/File/Path/Path.so
   /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.26.1/auto/File/stat/stat.so
   /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.26.1/auto/FileCache/FileCache.al
   /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.26.1/auto/Filter/Util/Call/Call.so
   ...

With these steps, you should be able to list all the installed Perl modules using the "perldoc" command.

Note: To find out more information about a specific Perl module, you can use the "perldoc" command followed by the name of the module. For example:

perldoc File::Basename

This will display the documentation of the "File::Basename" module, including a description of the functions it provides and their usage. Consult the documentation of "perldoc" and the Perl documentation for more information on how to use these utilities.
