Two questions for this mac os x 10.4 users

one how do I list all of the Net::? modules? {I was looking for
net::dns but it's not loaded}


two Is there another module that will let me query nameservers for mx,
ns, a, and cname records?

Thanks

Mike

This ain't your father's MacPerl - The answer is the same for Mac OS X as
for any other *nix. :-)

Have a look at:

perldoc -q "which modules are installed"

Net::DNS

thanks

I didn't really understand whether it made any difference whether or
not it was the
intel mac or the original chipset mac os. I saw that there were many
MacPerl sites that haven't been updated recently. That's why I figured
I better make sure.

again thanks

MacPerl sites haven't been updated recently because MacPerl itself is more
or less a dead issue now. It was necessary with MacOS 9 and earlier, because
that was a drastically different environment. Mac OS X ships with standard
"vanilla" Perl.

I should note that, although a special build of Perl is no longer of any use
with Mac OS X, most (if not all) of the useful Mac-related modules that were
included with MacPerl have been carbonated at this point, and are available
through CPAN.

Hi Sherm

I tried this

#!/usr/bin/perl

use ExtUtils::Installed;
my $instmod = ExtUtils::Installed->new();
foreach my $module ($instmod->modules()) {
my $version = $instmod->version($module) || "???";
print "$module -- $version\n";
}

and get

Perl -- 5.8.6
but none of the perl modules listed. It must see ExtUtils::Installed
and I put another module, net::domain, included use strict; and use
warnings; in the script to see it produced an error. There are no
errors on the output. How might I change this to view the modules?

Mike
