pmdesc3.pl
pmdesc3.pl ~/perllib
pmdesc3.pl [-h] [-s] [-t ddd] [-v dd] [--] [dir [dir [dir [...]]]]
OPTIONS: -h : print help message; show search path
-s : sort output (not under Windows)
-t ddd : name column has width ddd (1-3 digits); default 36
-v dd : version column has width dd (1-2 digits); default 10
Find name, version and description of all installed Perl modules and PODs. If no directories given, searches @INC . The first column of the output (see below) can be used as module name or FAQ-name for perldoc.
Some modules are split into a pm-file and an accompanying pod-file. The version number is always taken from the pm-file.
The description found will be cut down to a length of at most 150 characters (prevents slurping in big amount of faulty docs).
The output looks like this:
... IO::Socket (1.28) Object interface to socket communications IO::Socket::INET (1.27) Object interface for AF_INET domain sockets IO::Socket::UNIX (1.21) Object interface for AF_UNIX domain sockets IO::Stty (n/a) <description not available> IO::Tty (1.02) Low-level allocate a pseudo-Tty, import constants. IO::Tty::Constant (n/a) Terminal Constants (autogenerated) ...
The three parts module name, version and description are separated by at least one blank.
ExtUtils::MakeMaker, File::Find, Getopt::Std
The command line switch -s (sort) is not available under non-UNIX operating systems. An additional shell sort command can be used.
There are no known bugs in this module.
