Linux::Distribution::Packages 0.05

Linux::Distribution::Packages Perl module contains a list all packages on various Linux distributions.

SYNOPSIS

use Linux::Distribution::Packages qw(distribution_packages distribution_write);

$linux = new Linux::Distribution::Packages({format => csv, output_file => packages.csv});
$linux->distribution_write();

# Or you can (re)set the options when you write.
$linux->distribution_write({format => xml, output_file => packages.xml});

# If you want to reload the package data
$linux->distribution_packages();

This is a simple module that uses Linux::Distribution to guess the linux distribution and then uses the correct commands to list all the packages on the system and then output them in one of three formats: native, csv, and xml.
Distributions currently working: debian, ubuntu, fedora, redhat, suse, gentoo, slackware, redflag.

The module inherits from Linux::Distribution, so can also use its calls.
