=item B<ppm repo search> ...
|
Alias for B<ppm search>.
|
=item B<ppm repo suggest>
|
List some known repositories that can be added with B<ppm add>. The
|
list only include repositories that are usable by this perl installation.
|
=item B<ppm repo sync> [ B<--force> ] [ B<--max-ppd> I<max> ] [ I<num> ]
|
Synchronize local cache of packages found in the enabled repositories.
|
With the B<--force> option, download state from remote repositories even
|
if the local state has not expired yet. If I<num> is provided, only sync
|
the given repository.
|
PPM will need to download every PPD file for repositories that don't
|
provide a summary file (F<package.xml>). This can be very slow for
|
large repositories. Thus PPM refuses to start the downloads with
|
repositores linking to more that 100 PPD files unless the B<--max-ppd>
|
option provides a higher limit.
|
=item B<ppm search> I<pattern>
|
Search for packages matching I<pattern> in all enabled repositories.
|
For I<pattern>, use the wildcard C<*> to match any number of characters
|
and the wildcard C<?> to match a single character. For example, to find
|
packages starting with the string ""List"" search for C<list*>. Searches
|
are case insensitive.
|
If I<pattern> contains C<::>, PPM will search for packages that provide
|
modules matching the pattern.
|
If I<pattern> matches the name of a package exactly (case-sensitively),
|
only that package is shown. A I<pattern> without wildcards that does
|
not match any package names exactly is used for a substring search
|
against available package names (i.e. treated the same as
|
""B<*>I<pattern>B<*>"").
|
The output format depends on how many packages match. If there is only
|
one match, the B<ppm describe> format is used. If only a few packages
|
match, limited information is displayed. If many packages match, only
|
the package names and version numbers are displayed, one per line.
|
The number prefixing each entry in search output can be used to look
|
up full information with B<ppm describe> I<num>, dependencies with
|
B<ppm tree> I<num> or to install the package with B<ppm install>
|
I<num>.
|
=item B<ppm tree> I<package>
|
=item B<ppm tree> I<num>
|
Shows all the dependencies (recusively) for a particular package. The
|
package can be identified by a package name or the associated number
|
for the package returned by the last C<ppm search> command.
|
=item B<ppm uninstall> ...
|
Alias for B<ppm remove>.
|
=item B<ppm update> ...
|
Alias for B<ppm upgrade>.
|
=item B<ppm upgrade> [ B<--install> ]
|
List packages that there are upgrades available for. With
|
B<--install> option install the upgrades as well.
|
=item B<ppm upgrade> I<pkg>
|
=item B<ppm upgrade> I<module>
|
Upgrades the specified package or module if an upgrade is available in
|
one of the currently enabled repositories.
|
=item B<ppm verify> [ I<pkg> ]
|
Checks that the installed files are still present and unmodified. If
|
the package name is given, only that packages is verified.
|
=item B<ppm version>
|
Will print the version of PPM and a copyright notice.
|
=back
|
=head1 FILES
|
The following lists files and directories that PPM uses and creates:
|
=over
|
=item F<$HOME/.ActivePerl/$VERSION/>
|
Directory where PPM keeps its state. On Windows this directory is
|
F<$LOCAL_APPDATA/ActiveState/ActivePerl/$VERSION>. The $VERSION is a string
