To find out all modules installed on your system, including those without
documentation or outside the standard release, just do this:
% find `perl -e 'print "@INC"'` -name '*.pm' -print
|
|
They should all have their own documentation installed and accessible via your system
man(1) command. If you do not have a find program, you can use the Perl find2perl
program instead, which generates Perl code as output you can run through perl. If you have a man
program but it doesn't find your modules, you'll have to fix your manpath. See perl for details. If you have no
system man command, you might try the perldoc program.
