- You have a script. You've included some libraries,
- so you have more than just %_main. Now, how would you find out
- the names of all of the current packages?
-
- What I'm up to:
-
- In SoftList 3.0, which I'm working on, I have a "dumpv"
- alias that can be invoked from the Perl CLI, and it shows the
- state of everything in %_main (via dumpvar.pl). I would like to be able
- spit out a list of packages so that the user could give dumpv a
- "which package" argument.
-
- Daniel
-
- p.s. If you want to check out SoftList (the CLI part is in better
- shape than the list handling), email me, and I'll send you the beta.
- I have most of the command line editing you'd find in tcsh.
