I'm torn between knowing that I shouldn't feed trolls, and my hatred of
leaving faulty information about Perl unchecked, where some unsuspecting
newbie might stumble across it.

So to those newbies, you should know that just because this clown
doesn't think there's a way, does not in any way imply that there
actually isn't a way.

For a list of standard modules included in your distribution of Perl,
run the following command in your shell:
perldoc perlmodlib

To get a list of non-standard modules that have already been installed,
read the documentation for the ExtUtils::Installed module:
perldoc ExtUtils::Installed
