Subject: [Purdue-pm] REMINDER: Purdue Perl Mongers meets TOMORROW!
Message-ID: <539edbe8.61dd320a.457f.54c7@mx.google.com>

Greetings!

This is an automated message to announce that Purdue Perl Mongers
will meet TOMORROW at 11:30am in WSLR 116.

Generally, we discuss computing, dynamic languages, Purdue and the
overlap of those three (plus whatever else comes up) until Noon,
then have one or more more formal presentations. We don't always
discuss Perl -- we have had presentations on Python, Javascript,
HTML4, Selenium, and many other topics -- so if you are not an
experienced Perl user, there's still a place for you.

Check our Twitter feed (@purduepm), our Google+ Community
(https://plus.google.com/communities/100780979348959606696)
or our web page (http://pm.purdue.org) for more information.

Were we going to do something special at tomorrow?s meeting akin to the ?Derrick challenge? of last month (e.g., using JSON in various languages which actually turned into ?how to do data manipulation? in various languages.)   If so then someone please remind me!

Thanks,

Subject: [Purdue-pm] testing if a module is installed
Message-ID: <3226.1403552605@pier.ecn.purdue.edu>

I was asked how to test if a module is installed and thought you might
be interested in the answer I gave.

In bash,
    echo -n `perl -MGetopt::Missing -e  'print "y\n"' 2> /dev/null`
doesn't print anything,
    echo -n `perl -MGetopt::Long -e  'print "y\n"' 2> /dev/null`
rints "y".

Or,
    perl -MGetopt::Name -e 1
prints an error message if module is not installed,
or nothing if it is installed.

Or, in Perl
    if (eval 'require Getopt::Long') { print "yes"; }
prints "yes" if the module exists and doesn't do anything otherwise.

Perl has a ExtUtils::Installed module to test if a module has been
installed but I don't know if that module is alwayso guaranteed to
be installed, and what version of Perl it was first available for.
