Module-Which version 0.0206

===========================

'Module::Which' is the basis of the script 'which_pm' intented

to show which version of a Perl module is installed (if it is there at all).

Modules are searched by name (like 'YAML') or by subcategories

('DBD::' means all modules under the DBD subdirectories of

your Perl installation, matching both 'DBD::Oracle' and 'DBD::ODBC::Changes').

This module is very simple and most won't need it.

But it has been instructive for the author to see how many broken modules

one can find under your Perl installation (some which don't accept

even a 'require' statement), modules with no version number and

documentation files (named '.pm') which do not return a true value.

To find out modules under subcategories, L by Christian

Renz was used.

Well, all that said, this module is no more than automating:

  perl -MInteresting::Module -e 'print $Interesting::Module::VERSION'

or better the one-liner

  perl -e '$pm = shift; eval "require $pm"; print ${"${pm}::VERSION"}' DBI

INSTALLATION

To install this module type the following:

   perl Makefile.PL

   make

   make test

   make install

DEPENDENCIES

This module requires these other modules and libraries:

  GetOpt::Long

  Pod::Usage

  Test::More

  File::Spec::Unix

  File::Glob

  File::Find

  ExtUtils::MakeMaker

and recommends

  Test::Pod

TO DO

* needs a more comprehensive test suite.

* implement more options on which() behavior

  return => 'ARRAY' | 'HASH' | 'HASH(FIRST)' | 'HASH(MULT)' | 'HASH(LIST)'

  verbose => 0 | 1

  include => @INC

  method => 'REQUIRE' | 'EXTRACT'

  info   => @fields

* finish documentation of Data::Hash::Transform

* stuff Data::Hash::Transform into its own distribution

* fix bug in --help option

* introduce more options to control C behavior: C<--include>, 

  C<--method>, etc.

* always update "META.yml" before releasing (this is not

  being done automatically because MakeMaker overwrite

  keys like 'license' and 'recommends')

* which_pm should produce nice output for narrow terminal window sizes.

* which_pm should be able to report the version of perl (and other Perl scripts)

* a more complete implementation of --version for which_pm 

  (copyright and license included)

* support the pattern '' as a shortcut to show all installed modules

  in include directories

* finish documentation of Module::Which::List
