Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for your advice. I'm now working on a desktop PC without cpan installed. > For "use", you can do this: > > perl -MModule -e 'my @files' > > Which is equivalent to a program: > use Module; > my @files; > > You can add other statements to your -e parameter as well; just > separate them with semicolons. To issue following commands; use ExtUtils::Installed; my $inst = ExtUtils::Installed->new(); my @modules = $inst->modules(); Whether run; perl -MExtUtils::Installed;my $inst = ExtUtils::Installed->new();my @modules = $inst->modules(); TIA B.R.
