modpods

NAME

modpods - print out paths for the standard modules

DESCRIPTION

This program outputs the paths to all installed modules on your systems. This includes both the standard modules (which the stdpods command produces) and the site-specific ones (which the sitepods command produces).

This is just a front-end for calling pminst -l, supplied to make it more obvious what it does.

EXAMPLE

This finds all the modules whose documentation mentions destructors, and cats it out at you.

     $ podgrep -i destructor `modpods`
 
     =head1 /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/i686-linux/DB_File.pm chunk 371
 
     Having read L<perltie> you will probably have already guessed that the
     error is caused by the extra copy of the tied object stored in C<$X>.
     If you haven't, then the problem boils down to the fact that the
     B<DB_File> destructor, DESTROY, will not be called until I<all>
     references to the tied object are destroyed. Both the tied variable,
     C<%x>, and C<$X> above hold a reference to the object. The call to
     untie() will destroy the first, but C<$X> still holds a valid
     reference, so the destructor will not get called and the database file
     F<tst.fil> will remain open. The fact that Berkeley DB then reports the
     attempt to open a database that is alreday open via the catch-all
     "Invalid argument" doesn't help.
 
     =head1 /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/Tie/Array.pm chunk 40
 
     Normal object destructor method.
