Description

User Contributed Perl Documentation                                 MODPODS(1)



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.
