App::PMUtils - Command-line utilities related to Perl modules
This document describes version 0.27 of App::PMUtils (from Perl distribution App-PMUtils), released on 2014-09-16.
This distribution provides the following command-line utilities:
pmbin pmcore pmcost pmdoc pmedit pminfo pmless pmlist pmman pmpath pmuninst 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 \ pmuninst 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 /.
