This is the command pmdescp that can be run in the OnWorks free hosting provider using one of our multiple free online workstations such as Ubuntu Online, Fedora Online, Windows online emulator or MAC OS online emulator
PROGRAM:
NAME
pmdesc - print out version and whatis description of perl modules
DESCRIPTION
Given one or more module names, show the version number (if known) and the `whatis' line,
that is, the NAME section's description, typically used for generation whatis databases.
EXAMPLES
$ pmdesc IO::Socket
IO::Socket (1.25) - Object interface to socket communications
$ oldperl pmdesc IO::Socket
IO::Socket (1.1603) - Object interface to socket communications
$ pmdesc `pminst -s | perl -lane 'print $F[1] if $F[0] =~ /site/'`
XML::Parser::Expat (2.19) - Lowlevel access to James Clark's expat XML parser
XML::Parser (2.19) - A perl module for parsing XML documents
RESTRICTIONS
This only works on modules. It should also work on filenames, but then it's a bit tricky
finding out the package to call the VERSION method on.
