EDIT: The original node was buggy so here's a fixed version that seems to show all the executables installed by CPAN! Original node below so I can be embarrassed forever.☺

List EXE_FILES installed by CPAN:

#!/usr/bin/perl -l

use strict;
use warnings;

# List EXE_FILES installed by CPAN

$_ = join '', `perldoc -uT perllocal`;
@_ = (/EXE_FILES:\s([^>]+)/sg);
my @z = ();

for (@_) {
    my @x = split /\s+/;
    s/^\S+\///  for @x;
    push @z, @x;
}
%_ = map { $_ => 1 } @z;
print $_ for sort keys %_;
#print scalar keys %_;

my $n = 0;

for (sort { lc($a) cmp lc($b) } keys %_) {

THE ORIGINAL NODE, DOES NOT WORK!:

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
