=head1 DESCRIPTION
The C<ppm> program is the package manager for ActivePerl. It
simplifies the task of locating, installing, upgrading and removing
Perl packages.
Invoking C<ppm> without arguments brings up the graphical user interface,
but ppm can also be used as a command line tool where the first argument
provide the name of the sub-command to invoke. The following sub-commands
are recognized:
=over
=item B<ppm area init> I<area>
Will initialize the given area so that PPM starts tracking the
packages it contains.
PPM allows for the addition of new install areas, which is useful for
shared ActivePerl installations where the user does not have write
permissions for the I<site> and I<perl> areas. New install areas are
added by simply setting up new library directories for perl to search,
and PPM will set up install areas to match. The easiest way to add
library directories for perl is to specify them in the C<PERL5LIB>
environment variable, see L<perlrun> for details. PPM will create
F<etc>, F<bin>, F<html> directories as needed when installing
packages. If the last segment of the library directory path is F<lib>
then the other directories will be created as siblings of the F<lib>
directory, otherwise they will be subdirectories.
=item B<ppm area list> [ B<--csv> [ I<sep> ] ] [ B<--no-header> ]
Lists the available install areas. The list displays the name, number
of installed packages and C<lib> directory location for each install
area. If that area is read-only, the name appears in parenthesis. You
will not be able to install packages or remove packages in these areas.
The default install area is marked with a C<*> after its name.
The order of the listed install areas is the order perl uses when
searching for modules. Modules installed in earlier areas override
modules installed in later ones.
The B<--csv> option selects CSV (comma-separated values) format for the
output. The default field separator can be overridden by the argument
following B<--csv>.
The B<--no-header> option suppresses column headings.
=item B<ppm area sync> [ I<area> ... ]
Synchronizes installed packages, including those installed by means
other than PPM (e.g. the CPAN shell), with the ppm database. PPM
searches the install area(s) for packages, making PPM database entries
if they do not already exist, or dropping entries for packages that no
longer exist. When used without an I<area> argument, all install areas
are synced.
=item B<ppm config> I<name> [ I<value> ]
Get or set various PPM configuration values.
=item B<ppm config list>
List all configuration options currently set.
=item B<ppm describe> I<num>
Shows all properties for a particular package from the last search
result.
=item B<ppm files> I<pkg>
Lists the full path name of the files belonging to the given package,
one line per file.
