I was looking for an easy way to clone my perl modules from one server to another but I wasn’t sure how to easily list my installed perl modules. I searched around and found the instmodsh command which lists all currently installed perl modules.

I found Instmodsh is easy to use. In your terminal type insmodsh to use it and this will bring you to an interactive shell tool.

Here is an example listing installed perl modules with the instmodsh command:

devbox:~# instmodsh
Available commands are:
   l            - List all installed modules
   m <module>   - Select a module
   q            - Quit the program
cmd?

To list all perl modules type l in the instmodsh shell:

cmd? l
Installed modules are:
   AI::Categorizer
   AI::DecisionTree
   Algorithm::NaiveBayes
   Cache::Cache
   Class::Accessor
   Class::Data::Inheritable
   Devel::StackTrace
   Exception::Class
   HTML::Mason
   IO::Tty
   Lingua::StopWords
   Log::Any
   MealMaster
   Net::AMQP
   Net::Stomp
   POE
   POE::Component::Client::AMQP
   POE::Test::Loops
   Perl
   Statistics::Contingency
   Test::Deep
   Test::NoWarnings
   Test::Simple
   Test::Tester
   Time::Progress
   XML::RSS::Parser::Lite
   YAML::LibYAML
cmd?

As you can see instmodsh is an easy way to list all of your install perl modules.
