Sigh... did you even try out my example? 
Please read my answer *carefully*, the "perldoc Pod::Perldoc" command
will return 'No documentation found for "Pod::Perldoc".' regardless of
whether you use the "-l" switch or not, since Pod::Perldoc *has no pod
documentation*. However, Pod::Perldoc *is* an installed module.
So using "perldoc -l Module::Name" as a means to finding out whether
or not a module is installed is not a very robust way of doing it. The
other ways posted by various people are much better.
