                               # e.g. Tie::ExtraHash and Tie::Hash
info packages -p Tie::         # same as above
info packages -r ^Tie::        # same as above
info packages -s Tie::         # same as above, but list the subs
                               # of each package along with the package
info packages -e Tie::Hash     # match exactly Tie::Hash
info packages -e -f Tie::Hash  # same as above but show the file(s) where
                               # the package is defined
info packages -r ::Tie$        # match Tie only at the end,
                               # e.g. ReadLine::Tie
info packages                  # List all packages
