=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. |
