# Test::TCP::CheckPort(3pm)

check if a port is open from command line

## NAME

Test::TCP::CheckPort - check if a port is open from command line

## SYNOPSIS

```
  $^X -MTest::TCP::CheckPort -echeck_port 8080
```

## DESCRIPTION

This is a wrapper for Net::EmptyPort which checks if a given port is open, from the command line argument (`@ARGV`). Because it works with port numbers in the argument list, you don't need to quote it when running with the perl executable.
