What is finding modules (MetaCPAN) in Perl?

MetaCPAN is a powerful search engine for Perl modules and distributions. It allows developers to easily find, search, and explore Perl modules available on CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network). With its user-friendly interface and advanced search capabilities, MetaCPAN is an essential tool for Perl developers looking to enhance their projects with reusable code.

MetaCPAN provides various methods for finding Perl modules, such as searching by module name, author, and even exploring by category. This flexibility speeds up the development process and helps developers to quickly locate the resources they need.

// Example of using MetaCPAN API to search for a module $url = 'https://metacpan.org/search/'; $query = 'Moo'; // Example search query for the 'Moo' module $response = file_get_contents($url . '?q=' . urlencode($query)); echo $response; // Display the search results
