lib.cgi

Source

lib.cgi

Description

The script looks through all the directories contained in @INC and reports the version number and location of all modules that it finds.

It can be run from the command line or as a CGI script on a web server.

Security

If you don’t want random hackers probing this information about your system, you should restrict access to running the module. You can do this by setting access rights (such as requiring a password via .htaccess for an Apache server) or by installing and configuring TDL::Admin.

Sample output

Here is a portion of the output gleaned from running lib.cgi on a Linux server:

Current library includes:
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8
...
