This appears to give you a list of available modules from CPAN that could be installed. My understanding of the question is how to determine what modules the user already has. On unix or cygwin you can issue: find `perl -e 'print "@INC"'` -name "*.pm" I won't guess on how to do this on windows, don't claim much knowledge of it's perl capabilities. For most modules installed from CPAN and the standard modules you can do: perldoc <module name> (for example: perldoc Date::Calc) And the pod documentation will be displayed, it is also easy to just use http://search.cpan.org and view it online, this also gives an easy way to see the actual source of the module. And of course you can always check out, for a little lite reading: perldoc perl http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
