App::PMUtils - Command line to manipulate Perl module files
This document describes version 0.25 of App::PMUtils (from Perl distribution App-PMUtils), released on 2014-09-05.
This distribution provides the following command-line utilities:
pmbin pmcore pmcost pmdoc pmedit pminfo pmless pmlist pmman pmpath pmversion podpath
These utilities have tab completion capability. To activate it, put these lines to your bash startup file (e.g. /etc/bash.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, or ~/.bashrc):
/etc/bash.bashrc
~/.bash_profile
~/.bashrc
for p in \ pmbin pmcore pmcost pmdoc pmedit pminfo pmless pmlist pmman pmpath \ pmversion podpath; do complete -C $p $p done
For example, mpath in Module::Path distribution, mversion in Module::Version distribution, etc.
True. The main point of these utilities is shell tab completion, to save typing.
If you type module name which doesn't contain any ::, / will be used as namespace separator. Otherwise if you already type ::, it will use ::.
Colon is problematic because by default it is a word breaking character in bash. This means, in this command:
% pmpath Text:<tab>
bash is completing a new word (empty string), and in this:
% pmpath Text::ANSITabl<tab>
bash is completing ANSITabl instead of what we want Text::ANSITabl.
ANSITabl
Text::ANSITabl
The solution is to use quotes, e.g.
% pmpath "Text:<tab> % pmpath 'Text:<tab>
or, use /.
