How to discover pre-existing perl modules?

[MauriceConway]

I am no Perl expert by any stretch of the imagination, as my questions may display this.

I have been tasked with re-compiling Perl 5.8.0 on HP-UX 11.23 with the same modules previously used for the HP-UX 11.11 build. The original source code for the pre-existing Perl 5.8.0 do not exist anymore, and short of grabbing every module on cpan, is there an easier way to see what modules have been installed on the pre-existing build and grab those for my new build?

Sounds reasonable, but searching for the answer has eaten 1.5 days of my time already.

Any assistance, or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

You do this..

# perldoc perllocal

Just ran it, thank you!!

I "think" that may be what I needed, tho the list of modules is much shorter (which is a good thing) then I had expected.

No problem!

Because we have different versions of perl on the server, how can I "force" perldoc perllocal to run from a specific installation of perl?

Thanks again.

On the command line do

# perl -MFile::Find=find -MFile::Spec::Functions -Tlwe 'find { wanted => sub { print canonpath $_ if /\.pm\z/ }, no_chdir => 1 }, @INC'
