PMCHECK(1p)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, gather round — this is pmcheck, a lil utility from the Perl world (it lives in section 1p of the manual, iykyk) whose whole job is checking that your Perl setup is actually, like, set up correctly for Perl modules. 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so pmcheck does a vibe check on your Perl install to make sure everything's correct for Perl modules. 🔍✨

for now — and honestly bestie, this is the whole thing — pmcheck just verifies that the entries in @INC are existing readable directories. that's it. that's the gig. no cap. 💅

like, if a directory in @INC doesn't exist or you can't read it, that's a problem, and pmcheck is the friend who's gonna notice. 🚨
