pwhich - Perl-only `which'
$ pwhich perl $ pwhich -a perl # print all matches $ pwhich perl perldoc ... # look for multiple programs $ pwhich -a perl perldoc ...
`pwhich' is a command-line utility program for finding paths to other
programs based on the user's PATH
. It is similar to the usualy Unix
tool `which', and tries to emulate its functionality, but is written
purely in Perl (uses the module File::Which
), so is portable.
$ pwhich [-a] [-v] programname [programname ...]
The option -a will make pwhich
print all matches found in the
PATH
variable instead of just the first one. Each match is printed
on a separate line.
Prints version (of File::Which
) and copyright notice and exits.

Originated in modperl-2.0/lib/Apache/Build.pm. Changed for use in DocSet
(for the mod_perl site) and Win32-awareness by me, with slight modifications
by Stas Bekman, then extracted to create File::Which
.
Version 0.04 had some significant platform-related changes, taken from
the Perl Power Tools `which'
implementation by Abigail with
enhancements from Peter Prymmer. See
http://www.perl.com/language/ppt/src/which/index.html for more
information.
