Short of writing a perlscript to do it, searching @INC for modules can be a pain. How's about a switch that searches @INC for modules matching a regex instead of executing anything (behaves like perl -v), so for example: perl -M 'spook' might return /usr/local/lib/perl5: -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 13889 Mar 21 1996 spook.pl or perl -M 'st\D+' /usr/local/lib/perl5: -r--r--r-- 1 root other 658 Jan 11 1996 stat.pl -r--r--r-- 1 root other 2175 Jun 4 1997 strict.pm Just a thought. -E ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
