NAME App::PMUtils - Command-line utilities related to Perl modules VERSION This document describes version 0.30 of App::PMUtils (from Perl distribution App-PMUtils), released on 2014-11-28. SYNOPSIS This distribution provides the following command-line utilities: pmbin pmcore pmcost pmdoc pmedit pminfo pmless pmlist pmman pmpath pmuninst pmversion podpath These utilities have tab completion capability. To activate it, put these lines to your bash startup file (e.g. "/etc/bash.bashrc", "~/.bash_profile", or "~/.bashrc"): for p in \ pmbin pmcore pmcost pmdoc pmedit pminfo pmless pmlist pmman pmpath \ pmuninst pmversion podpath; do complete -C $p $p done FAQ What is the purpose of this distribution? Haven't other utilities existed? For example, mpath in Module::Path distribution, mversion in Module::Version distribution, etc. True. The main point of these utilities is shell tab completion, to save typing. In shell completion, why do you use / (slash) instead of :: (double colon) as it should be? If you type module name which doesn't contain any ::, / will be used as namespace separator. Otherwise if you already type ::, it will use ::. Colon is problematic because by default it is a word breaking character in bash. This means, in this command: % pmpath Text: bash is completing a new word (empty string), and in this: % pmpath Text::ANSITabl bash is completing "ANSITabl" instead of what we want "Text::ANSITabl". The solution is to use quotes, e.g. % pmpath "Text: % pmpath 'Text: or, use /. SEE ALSO App::PlUtils, distribution that provides utilities related to Perl scripts. App::ProgUtils, a similarly spirited distribution. HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at . SOURCE Source repository is at .
