To find out I<all> modules installed on your system, including
those without documentation or outside the standard release,
-just do this:
+just use the following command (under the default win32 shell,
+double quotes should be used instead of single quotes).
- % find `perl -e 'print "@INC"'` -name '*.pm' -print
+ % perl -MFile::Find=find -MFile::Spec::Functions -Tlwe \
+ 'find { wanted => sub { print canonpath $_ if /\.pm\z/ },
+ 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 B<find>
program, you can use the Perl B<find2perl> program instead, which
to fix your manpath. See L<perl> for details. If you have no
system B<man> command, you might try the B<perldoc> program.
+Note also that the command C<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.)

=head2 Extension Modules
Extension modules are written in C (or a mix of Perl and C). They
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 Deja News.

Does your module pass the 'empty subclass' test? If you say
C<@SUBCLASS::ISA = qw(YOURCLASS);> your applications should be able
to use SUBCLASS in exactly the same way as YOURCLASS. For example,
-does your application still work if you change: C<$obj = new YOURCLASS;>
-into: C<$obj = new SUBCLASS;> ?
+does your application still work if you change: C<< $obj = YOURCLASS->new(); >>
+into: C<< $obj = SUBCLASS->new(); >> ?
Avoid keeping any state information in your packages. It makes it
difficult for multiple other packages to use yours. Keep state
The general mechanism is to assert your Copyright and then make
a declaration of how others may copy/use/modify your work.
-Perl, for example, is supplied with two types of licence: The GNU
-GPL and The Artistic Licence (see the files README, Copying, and
-Artistic). Larry has good reasons for NOT just using the GNU GPL.
+Perl, for example, is supplied with two types of licence: The GNU GPL

My personal recommendation, out of respect for Larry, Perl, and the
Perl community at large is to state something simply like:
