NAME

Module::Distname - find out which dist (or dists) a module lives in

SYNOPSIS

use Module::Distname;
my @dists = Module::Distname->dists('Test::More');
print join(', ', @dists), "\n";

DESCRIPTION

This module works by searching the .packlist files installed by Module::Build and ExtUtils::MakeMaker and attempt to figure out the dist names from the file paths.

METHODS

dists( module_name )

Returns a hash of 'dist name' => 'version' mappings of all the currently-installed dists that contain the given module. Usually this would be a one-element hash. However, if the module is core it will also be in the 'Perl' dist. If a version cannot be determined, an empty string will be in its place.

This method will croak if it cannot load the given module.

BUGS

  • This module relies on .packlists and will not work if these are not present.

  • It can be argued that the functionality of this module should be rolled into ExtUtils::Installed.
