A plenv plugin to show which Perl versions have a particular module.

I use plenv daily to manage the many Perl configurations which I use for different projects. Sometimes I have to install huge collections of Perl modules for some specific use case. And then I forget which Perl installation under plenv it was where I installed them.

So I wrote this plugin to fix that.

Example use cases:

$ plenv where Dist::Zilla
5.24.4
5.28.2
5.34.1-dzil
5.39.2

It can also report the actual path and/or the module version:

$ plenv where --path --module-version Dist::Zilla
/[..]versions/5.24.4/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.24.4/Dist/Zilla.pm 6.031
/[..]versions/5.28.2/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.28.2/Dist/Zilla.pm 6.032
/[..]versions/5.34.1-dzil/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.34.1/Dist/Zilla.pm 6.033
/[..]versions/5.39.2/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.39.2/Dist/Zilla.pm 6.030

Configuration

This plugin also uses a configuration file. plenv-where where reads a configuration from file ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/plenv/where, or, if the variable XDG_CONFIG_HOME does not exist, from file ${HOME}/.config/plenv/where. In the config file, we place every option on its own line.

Installation

The installation is manual.

mkdir -p "$(plenv root)/plugins"
git clone https://github.com/mikkoi/plenv-where.git "$(plenv root)/plugins/plenv-where"
