No easy way to inspect distributions

Open skaji opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

a short description of the problem

I think there is no easy way to inspect distributions.

more details

Let's say we use Module in our script:

use Module;

my $mod = Module.new;
...

Sometimes I want to inspect the distribution which Module belongs to. Especially I want to know:

  • distribution name
  • version and auth of distribution
  • resource files of distribution

But currently there is no easy way to do it, I think.
