NAME

which_pm - Perl script to find out which versions of certain Perl modules are installed

SYNOPSIS

  which_pm [--verbose] [--quiet] [--p5p] DBI DBD::
  which_pm --help
  which_pm --man
  which_pm --version

  which_pm Module::Find Module::Which File::

  Options:
    -verbose       shows error messages (due to "require $module")
    -quiet         hides error messages (due to "require $module")
    -help          brief help message
    -man           full documentation
    -version       prints the version number of this script
    -include       restricts library paths (defaults to @INC) (also --inc, -I)

    -plain         print plain paths (default)
    -p5p           prints p5-paths
    -width         determines the terminal width (default: 78)

OPTIONS

-verbose

Version is determined by doing a require on runtime. In case, the statement fails, error messages are shown.

-quiet

Version is determined by doing a require on runtime. In case, the statement fails, error messages are silently hidden. This is the default. A failure during require will result 'unknown' as version.

-help

Print a brief help message and exits.

-man

Prints the manual page and exits.

-version

Prints the version number and exits.

-p5p, -plain

Toogles on and off printing paths as p5-paths or plain paths. For example, in a machine where the Config variable installarchlib holds "C:\tools\Perl5\lib" and File::Spec is found at "c:/tools/Perl5/lib/File/Spec.pm", the p5-path is "${installarchlib}/".

-include

When this switch is explicit, the library path is restricted. Otherwise, the library path defaults to @INC. This can be spelt also as --inc or -I.

-width

Determines the terminal width and defaults to 78. To avoid truncation, use -w 0. # OUTDATED
