💖 NAME — MODPODS(1) bestie edition 💖

Okay so modpods is literally your little path-printing bestie: it prints out paths for the standard modules. No cap. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This program outputs the paths to all installed modules on your systems. Yep, all of them, and it includes both:

  • the standard modules (which the stdpods command produces), and
  • the site-specific ones (which the sitepods command produces).

It's giving convenience. It's giving "just tell me where stuff is."

This is just a front-end for calling pminst -l, supplied to make it more obvious what it does. That's the whole vibe. 🫶

🎀 EXAMPLE 🎀

This finds all the modules whose documentation mentions destructors, and cats it out at you. Obsessed. 😭

$ podgrep -i destructor `modpods`

=head1 /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/i686-linux/DB_File.pm chunk 371

Having read L<perltie> you will probably have already guessed that the
error is caused by the extra copy of the tied object stored in C<$X>.
If you haven't, then the problem boils down to the fact that the
B<DB_File> destructor, DESTROY, will not be called until I<all>
references to the tied object are destroyed. Both the tied variable,
C<%x>, and C<$X> above hold a reference to the object. The call to
untie() will destroy the first, but C<$X> still holds a valid
reference, so the destructor will not get called and the database file
F<tst.fil> will remain open. The fact that Berkeley DB then reports the
attempt to open a database that is alreday open via the catch-all
"Invalid argument" doesn't help.

=head1 /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/Tie/Array.pm chunk 40

Normal object destructor method.
