[SOLVED] Unable to create a function in BASH

rohit.dhaval1 · 11-12-2013, 11:00 PM

I want to create a function in .bashrc to ease checking version of perl module. Can someone help me create one

The command to be put in .bashrc is

perl -MXML::LibXML -e 'print "$XML::LibXML::VERSION\n"'

I want to be able to run above as

p XML::LibXML

Sorry, didn't reply on time.. I figured out a way myself

>>>>> Lines from .bashrc

p () {
/usr/bin/perl -M"$@" -e 'print "$'"$@"'::VERSION\n"'
}
