<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am gradually moving my Perl scripts from a Windows PC to a PC running Linux, and have a few questions related to package management.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Does anyone know if there is an equivalent to PPM for Linux?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Is there a way to get a list of installed packages or to check for a specific package?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Major packages, such as LWP, are frequently split up into 10 or more packages. Is there an easy way to get everything at one time. With PPM3 I could stay s LWP-* and then install [range].</FONT></P>
