MODPODS(1p)

💅 modpods — like, the NAME section, bestie

okay so modpods ✨ it prints out the paths for the standard modules. that's the whole vibe. that's it. and honestly? iconic. 💖

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what this program does is it outputs the paths to all installed modules on your systems. yes, ALL of them. 💅

and that means both:

• the standard modules — which the stdpods command produces 🌸
• and the site-specific ones — which the sitepods command produces 🎀

and listen. bestie. it's literally just a front-end for calling pminst -l. that's the tea 🍓 it was supplied to make it more obvious what it does. like, the name tells you what's happening. main character naming energy fr fr. 👑

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

okay so here's the slay: this finds all the modules whose documentation mentions destructors, and cats it out at you. 🐱✨

$ 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.

the way that it just vomits the whole chunk at you 😭 obsessed. also yes, "alreday" is spelled like that in the output, i don't make the rules, i just respect the source material 💀
