How can I check if a Perl module is installed on my system from the command line?

Question

I tried to check if XML::Simple is installed in my system or not.

perl -e \'while (<@INC>) { while (<$_/*.pm>) { print \"$_\\n\"; } }\'

If you're running ActivePerl under Windows:

• C:\>ppm query * to get a list of all installed modules

• C:\>ppm query XML-Simple to check if XML::Simple is installed
