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

Calling syntax

21         $ pwhich [-a] [-v] programname [programname ...]
22
23       Options
24
25       -a  The option -a will make "pwhich" print all matches found in the
26           "PATH" variable instead of just the first one. Each match is
27           printed on a separate line.
28
29       -v  Prints version (of "File::Which") and copyright notice and exits.
