perl module question

Couple questions on perl module..

1)where is the best place on web where it tells you what modules can do?

For example,

use Text::Autoformat

Where is the best place on line or via command line to find the exact capability of autoformat?

2)Is there already a perl module to read *.cap file(ethereal format)?

1) CPAN and probably the author's web page, if any
2) do a search in CPAN.
