App::PMUtils - Command-line utilities related to Perl modules
This document describes version 0.735 of App::PMUtils (from Perl distribution App-PMUtils), released on 2021-07-27.
This distribution provides the following command-line utilities related to Perl modules:
module-dir
pmbin
pmcat
pmchkver
pmcore
pmcost
pmdir
pmdoc
pmedit
pmgrep
pmhtml
pminfo
pmlatest
pmless
pmlines
pmlist
pmman
pmminversion
pmpath
pmstripper
pmuninst
pmunlink
pmversion
pmxs
podlist
podpath
pwd2mod
rel2mod
The main purpose of these utilities is tab completion.

Usage:
pmdir(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]
Get directory of locally installed Perl module/prefix.
This is basically a shortcut for:
% pmpath -Pd MODULE_OR_PREFIX_NAME
Sometimes I forgot that pmpath has a -d option, and often intuitively look for a pmdir command.
-d
This function is not exported.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
abs => bool
Absolutify each path.
module* => array[perl::modname]
pm => int (default: 1)
pmc => int (default: 0)
pod => int (default: 0)
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.
Return value: (any)
pmpath(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]
Get path to locally installed Perl module.
all => bool
Get all found files for each module instead of the first one.
dir => bool
Show directory instead of path.
Also, will return . if not found, so you can conveniently do this on a Unix shell:
.
% cd C<pmpath -Pd Moose>
and it won't change directory if the module doesn't exist.
prefix => int (default: 0)
pmunlink(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]
Unlink (remove) locally installed Perl module.
This function supports dry-run operation.
Special arguments:
-dry_run => bool
Pass -dry_run=>1 to enable simulation mode.
rel2mod(%args) -> any
Convert release name (e.g. Foo-Bar-1.23.tar.gz) to module name (Foo::Bar).
releases* => array[str]
For example, mpath from Module::Path distribution is similar to pmpath in App::PMUtils, and mversion from Module::Version distribution is similar to pmversion from App::PMUtils distribution, and so on.
True. The main point of these utilities is shell tab completion, to save typing.
