perldoc perllocal    (to l's in the middle)

if that still doesn't work, it's an excellent indication of a broken perl 
install. tom c. has gone to good deal of trouble to make sure that perl doc's 
are complete an easily available and installed properly in the initial perl 
installation.

last thing to look at is perl\site\lib. you'd have to go into each .pl and .pm 
though to get a version number...

if perldoc perllocal doesn't work, i'd seriously consider reinstalling (first 
from mandrake, then from an rpm) at that point you might want to install the 
activestate version. ppm makes it a breeze to search, install, and query perl 
modules...
