Hey<br><br> Is there any way i can find all the modules installed in local perl directory. Actually i'm writing a utility to download a module and install it, but i dont want to install the modules already present, how can i check the modules existing in my local perl directory ? is there any reserved array or variable for this ? Please help me ASAP. Thanks for your time. <br><br>Thanks & Regards<br>Srinivas Yelimeli

Help regarding modules

Save yourself re-inventing the wheel - there's already a module that will do this for you, and it's included in the recent releases of perl. The module is "CPAN", and to see the documentation run <FONT FACE=monospace>perldoc ::CPAN</font>.<br><br>To run the installation module interactively, run <FONT FACE=monospace>perl -MCPAN -e shell</font>, then type "h" for help.<br><br>Hope this helps. <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>--<br>
