NAME

lspm - list names and descriptions of Perl modules in a directory

SYNOPSIS

lspm -h

lspm [-p] [-a] [-c [num]] [-l len] [dir [dir dir ...]]

DESCRIPTION

Lists all or a subset of installed Perl modules, with version numbers and descriptions.

It will look in Perl's default search path for modules, @INC, if you don't explicitly list any directories to walk. Note that this default search excludes the current directory.

OPTIONS

-h, --help

See a synopsis.

--man

Browse the manpage.

-p, --show-path

Include path of found modules in output.

-a, --align

Vertically align descriptions.

-c, --align-local, --align-cont

Align descriptions in blocks where the module names don't differ too much in length, to avoid pushing all descriptions way over to the right just because a few names are long. The output looks more ragged than with full alignment, but is still lined up locally and only requires the eye to cross small gaps between columns, so is usually more readable.

You can pass an optional positive integer argument to specify the length threshold; the default is 7.

-l, --max-length, --limit

Cut off descriptions at specified length.

BUGS

I need something to write here.
