perlmodlib - constructing new Perl modules and finding
existing ones
THE PERL MODULE LIBRARY [Toc] [Back] Many modules are included in the Perl distribution. These
are described below, and all end in .pm. You may discover
compiled library files (usually ending in .so) or small
pieces of modules to be autoloaded (ending in .al); these
were automatically generated by the installation process.
You may also discover files in the library directory that
end in either .pl or .ph. These are old libraries supplied
so that old programs that use them still run. The
.pl files will all eventually be converted into standard
modules, and the .ph files made by h2ph will probably end
up as extension modules made by h2xs. (Some .ph values
may already be available through the POSIX, Errno, or
Fcntl modules.) The pl2pm file in the distribution may
help in your conversion, but it's just a mechanical process
and therefore far from bulletproof.
Pragmatic Modules [Toc] [Back]
They work somewhat like compiler directives (pragmata) in
that they tend to affect the compilation of your program,
and thus will usually work well only when used within a
"use", or "no". Most of these are lexically scoped, so an
inner BLOCK may countermand them by saying:
no integer;
no strict 'refs';
no warnings;
which lasts until the end of that BLOCK.
Some pragmas are lexically scoped--typically those that
affect the $^H hints variable. Others affect the current
package instead, like "use vars" and "use subs", which
allow you to predeclare a variables or subroutines within
a particular file rather than just a block. Such declarations
are effective for the entire file for which they
were declared. You cannot rescind them with "no vars" or
"no subs".
The following pragmas are defined (and have their own documentation).
attributes Get/set subroutine or variable attributes
attrs Set/get attributes of a subroutine (deprecated)
autouse Postpone load of modules until a function is
used
base Establish IS-A relationship with base class at
compile time

Perl

warnings::register
Warnings import function
Standard Modules [Toc] [Back]
Standard, bundled modules are all expected to behave in a
well-defined manner with respect to namespace pollution
because they use the Exporter module. See their own documentation
for details.
It's possible that not all modules listed below are
installed on your system. For example, the GDBM_File module
will not be installed if you don't have the gdbm
library.

XSLoader Dynamically load C libraries into Perl code
To find out all modules installed on your system, including
those without documentation or outside the standard
release, just use the following command (under the default
win32 shell, double quotes should be used instead of single
quotes).
% perl -MFile::Find=find -MFile::Spec::Functions -Tlwe
'find { wanted => sub { print canonpath $_ if /.pm/},
no_chdir => 1 }, @INC'
(The -T is here to prevent '.' from being listed in @INC.)
They should all have their own documentation installed and
accessible via your system man(1) command. If you do not
have a find program, you can use the Perl find2perl program
instead, which generates Perl code as output you can
run through perl. If you have a man program but it
doesn't find your modules, you'll have to fix your manpath.
See perl for details. If you have no system man
command, you might try the perldoc program.
Note also that the command "perldoc perllocal" gives you a
(possibly incomplete) list of the modules that have been
further installed on your system. (The perllocal.pod file
is updated by the standard MakeMaker install process.)
Extension Modules [Toc] [Back]
Extension modules are written in C (or a mix of Perl and
C). They are usually dynamically loaded into Perl if and
when you need them, but may also be linked in statically.
Supported extension modules include Socket, Fcntl, and
POSIX.
Many popular C extension modules do not come bundled (at
least, not completely) due to their sizes, volatility, or
simply lack of time for adequate testing and configuration
across the multitude of platforms on which Perl was
beta-tested. You are encouraged to look for them on CPAN
(described below), or using web search engines like Alta
Vista or Google.
CPAN stands for Comprehensive Perl Archive Network; it's a
globally replicated trove of Perl materials, including
documentation, style guides, tricks and traps, alternate
ports to non-Unix systems and occasional binary distributions
for these. Search engines for CPAN can be found at
http://www.cpan.org/
Most importantly, CPAN includes around a thousand unbundled
modules, some of which require a C compiler to build.
Major categories of modules are:
o Language Extensions and Documentation Tools
o Development Support
o Operating System Interfaces
o Networking, Device Control (modems) and InterProcess
Communication
o Data Types and Data Type Utilities
o Database Interfaces
o User Interfaces
o Interfaces to / Emulations of Other Programming Languages
o File Names, File Systems and File Locking (see also
File Handles)
o String Processing, Language Text Processing, Parsing,
and Searching
o Option, Argument, Parameter, and Configuration File
Processing
o Internationalization and Locale
o Authentication, Security, and Encryption
o World Wide Web, HTML, HTTP, CGI, MIME
o Server and Daemon Utilities
o Archiving and Compression
o Images, Pixmap and Bitmap Manipulation, Drawing, and
Graphing
o Mail and Usenet News
o Control Flow Utilities (callbacks and exceptions etc)
o File Handle and Input/Output Stream Utilities
o Miscellaneous Modules
The list of the registered CPAN sites as of this writing
follows. Please note that the sorting order is alphabetical
on fields:
Continent
|
|-->Country
|
|-->[state/province]
|
|-->ftp
|
|-->[http]
and thus the North American servers happen to be listed
between the European and the South American sites.
You should try to choose one close to you.
