I am not sure how you can check within a script. But to check to see if the modules are loaded on your system you can issue the following command at the command line
Instmodsh Then -l Hope that helps.

Obviously if one of the modules is not installed, the script doesn't start. I'd like to have the possibility to notify to the user which are the modules he still requires and that should have to be installed.. I think I could wrote an "install script" that checks the modules presence and if all it's ok, it starts the main script. So here I have several questions: 1) is this a good way to proceed ? 2) how could I check the module presence ? 3) Can I start the main script with a 'system mainscript.pl' Thank you in advance.
