 Where do I find a listing of available modules or the modules
themselves? Documentation available? Where is a good place to search?

A good place to start is with the documentation that came with your
installation, using "perldoc". e.g.

perldoc -q "What modules and extensions are available for Perl"

Using your favorite Internet search engine, searching for
"perl modules", would probably have returned many helpful sites too.

perldoc perltoc

for the table of contents of the POD documentation on your system.

> Documentation available?

perldoc -q module

to search the FAQ list. The search above yields:

What modules and extensions are available for Perl? What is CPAN? What
does CPAN/src/... mean?

> Where is a good place to search?

There is always Google. On the other hand, you can always go to
<URL:http://search.cpan.org/>.

Please read the posting guidelines for this group and follow them.

Do you mean modules on your system or modules on CPAN that you might
install?

If you want to see every module indexed by PAUSE, look at the
modules/02.packages.details.tar.gz file on any CPAN mirror.

To get all the modules in the current @INC, just use the cpan script
that comes with perl:

% cpan -a

You'll get a lot of output that looks like:

CGI::FormBuilder::Util 3.0501 3.0501

CGI::Pretty 1.08 1.08 LDS/CGI.pm-3.37.tar.gz
