# some venture into standard modules
import os
# print all names exported by the module
print dir(os)
# print the module's online manual
print help(os)
# the above is also available in
# interactive mode in Python terminal
# example of using a function
print 'current dir is:', os.getcwd()
# this prints a list of existing modules
print help('modules')

# in Python terminal, type help() then
# modules
# to get a list
# then a module name to see its doc.

--------------------------
in perl, i don't think there is one way to
list available modules.
one can write a program to find out. Start by
use Data::Dumper; print Dumper [EMAIL PROTECTED];
to see where is the standard modules located,
then search for *.pm files to get an idea.

because html conversion often breaks the code.
