=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 |
