NAME

6       pwhich - Perl-only `which'
7

SYNOPSIS

9         $ pwhich perl
10         $ pwhich -a perl          # print all matches
11         $ pwhich perl perldoc ... # look for multiple programs
12         $ pwhich -a perl perldoc ...
13

DESCRIPTION

15       `pwhich' is a command-line utility program for finding paths to other
16       programs based on the user's "PATH". It is similar to the usualy Unix
17       tool `which', and tries to emulate its functionality, but is written
18       purely in Perl (uses the module "File::Which"), so is portable.
19
20   Calling syntax
21         $ pwhich [-a] [-v] programname [programname ...]
22
23   Options
24       -a  The option -a will make "pwhich" print all matches found in the
25           "PATH" variable instead of just the first one. Each match is
26           printed on a separate line.
27
28       -v  Prints version (of "File::Which") and copyright notice and exits.

43       Originated in modperl-2.0/lib/Apache/Build.pm. Changed for use in
44       DocSet (for the mod_perl site) and Win32-awareness by me, with slight
45       modifications by Stas Bekman, then extracted to create "File::Which".
46
47       Version 0.04 had some significant platform-related changes, taken from
48       the Perl Power Tools `which' implementation by Abigail with
49       enhancements from Peter Prymmer. See
50       <http://www.perl.com/language/ppt/src/which/index.html> for more
51       information.
