How do i determine which modules are installed with perl?  I need to
determine if I have the following:

URI
libnet
MIME-Base64
Net-FTP-Commo
libwww-perl
Net_SSLeay.pm
Crypt-SSLeay (version 0.19 for HTTPS proxy and certificates)

if it turns out I don't, where can i get more info on them, how to
install modules and check their dependencies?

The easiest way to see if you have all of the modules is to simply make 
a program that would "use" all of them.

###

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

use URI;
use libnet;
use MIME::Base64;
use Net::FTP::Commo;
use libwww::perl;
use Net_SSLeay;
use Crypt::SSLeay;

print "you have them all\n";

###

If you don't have them, head over to http://search.cpan.org/ (or if you 
have windows then you can use PPM.

   perldoc -q module

       What modules and extensions are available for Perl?  What is CPAN?
       What does CPAN/src/... mean?

       How do I install a module from CPAN?

       How do I keep my own module/library directory?

you might just want to search your harddrive for *.pm! then learn how to use 
perldoc to read the docs for each of your modules.

[(15:39:03) apeiron@prophecy ~] locate / | grep -c '\.pm$'
1773
[(15:39:06) apeiron@prophecy ~]

That would be a little like finding an electronic needle in the massive
haystack that is my hard disk. :)

FYI, Robin does not have a great track record here.

As usual, his suggestion is worse than worthless.

He forgets that there is a distinction between an installed Perl module 
and a stray .pm file in a temp directory etc.

save this to a file, chmod +x it and don't lose it!

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use ExtUtils::Installed;

#print installed modules

print "Here are your installed modules:\n";
print "-------------------------------------------------------\n";
my $inst    = ExtUtils::Installed->new();
my @modules = $inst->modules();
print "$_\n" for @modules;
