How can I find out where a Perl module is installed?
How do get the path of a installed Perl module by name,
e.g. Time::HiRes
?
I want this just because I have to run my perl script on different nodes of a SGE Grid Engine system. Sometimes, even run as other username.
I can use CPAN.pm to install packages for myself, but it is not so easy to install for other users without chmod 666 on folders.
perl -MTime::HiRes -e 'print $INC{"Time/HiRes.pm"}'
or perldoc -l Time::HiRes
Mostly I use perldoc
to get a location:
$ perldoc -l Module
You can also get module details with the cpan
tool that comes with Perl:
$ cpan -D Time::HiRes
Time::HiRes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
High resolution time, sleep, and alarm

It even works on modules that you haven't installed:
$ cpan -D Win32::Process
Win32::Process
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interface to Win32 Process functions

I think maybe I need an XML option like svn.
