G'day!

I was wondering if some techincally savvy person could tell me if there is a way to find out what modules are installed on a server. Is there anything I can run in telnet to get the server to list the installed modules?

Thanks for any advice.

Apache modules, perl modules?

Open up your httpd.conf and search for AddModule
You will see some entries to add modules.

Also go to /usr/local/apache/lib
thats where apache keeps the modules that you install.

Try "httpd -l" (if you're on a RaQ4, it should be "/usr/sbin/httpd -l"). This of course is assuming you are looking for Apache modules.

Apologies for not making myself clearer! I guess that these nuances I will pick up and I will speak more sense in the future!

I was actually referring to finding out what perl modules were installed. Thanks for the details regarding the apache modules, I will bear those procedures in mind when I need to find those!

Try this:

Here's an elegant script which also show Perl and module versions:


#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use ExtUtils::Installed;

my $installed = ExtUtils::Installed->new();
$ver = $installed->version('Perl');
printf "the Perl version is $ver\n";
foreach my $module (grep(!/^Perl$/,$installed->modules()))
{
my $version = $installed->version($module) || "unknown";
print "$module, version $version\n";
}
exit;

You need the Extutils::Installed module for this to work, but that's standard - at least in newer Perl versions.

Here's a nice script that shows what you need and more. Easy installation and free.
