=item B<ppm help> [ I<subcommand> ]
Prints the documentation for ppm (this file).
=item B<ppm info> [ I<name> ]
List information about ppm and its environment. With argument print the
value of the given variable. See also L<ppm config list>.
=item B<ppm install> I<pkg> ... [ B<--area> I<area> ] [ B<--force> ] [ B<--nodeps> ]
=item B<ppm install> I<module> ... [ B<--area> I<area> ] [ B<--force> ] [ B<--nodeps> ]
=item B<ppm install> I<file>.ppmx [ B<--area> I<area> ] [ B<--nodeps> ]
=item B<ppm install> I<file>.ppd [ B<--area> I<area> ] [ B<--nodeps> ]
=item B<ppm install> I<url> [ B<--area> I<area> ] [ B<--nodeps> ]
=item B<ppm install> I<num> [ B<--area> I<area> ] [ B<--nodeps> ]
Install a package and its dependencies.
The argument to B<ppm install> can be the name of a package, the name of
a module provided by the package, the file name or the URL of a PPMX or PPD file,
or the associated number for the package returned by the last C<ppm
search> command.
Package or module names can be repeated to install multiple modules in one go.
These forms can also be intermixed.
If the package or module requested is already installed, PPM installs
nothing. The B<--force> option can be used to make PPM install a
package even if it's already present. With B<--force> PPM resolves
file conflicts during package installation or upgrade by allowing
files already installed by other packages to be overwritten and
ownership transferred to the new package. This may break the package
that originally owned the file.
By default, new packages are installed in the C<site> area, but if the
C<site> area is read only, and there are user-defined areas set up, the
first user-defined area is used as the default instead. Use the
B<--area> option to install the package into an alternative location.
The B<--nodeps> option makes PPM attempt to install the package
without resolving any dependencies the package might have.
=item B<ppm list> [ I<area> ] [ B<--matching> I<pattern> ] [ B<--csv> [ I<sep> ] ] [ B<--no-header> ] [ ---fields B<fieldlist> ]
List installed packages. If the I<area> argument is not provided, list
the content of all install areas.
The B<--matching> option limits the output to only include packages
matching the given I<pattern>. See B<ppm search> for I<pattern> syntax.
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 suppress printing of the column headings.
The B<--fields> argument can be used to select what fields to show.
The argument is a comma separated list of the following field names:
=over
=item B<name>
The package name. This field is always shown, but if specified
alone get rid of the decorative box.
=item B<version>
The version number of the package.
=item B<release_date>
The release date of the package.
=item B<abstract>
A one sentence description of the purpose of the package.
=item B<author>
The package author or maintainer.
=item B<area>
Where the package is installed.
=item B<files>
The number of files installed for the package.
=item B<size>
The combined disk space used for the package.
