PWHICH(1)                      User Contributed Perl Documentation                      PWHICH(1)



NAME
       pwhich - Perl-only 'which'

SYNOPSIS
         $ pwhich perl
         $ pwhich -a perl          # print all matches
         $ pwhich perl perldoc ... # look for multiple programs
         $ pwhich -a perl perldoc ...

DESCRIPTION
       '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.

       Calling syntax

         $ pwhich [-a] [-v] programname [programname ...]

       Options


       -a  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.

       -v  Prints version (of "File::Which") and copyright notice and exits.

SUPPORT
       Bugs should be reported via the CPAN bug tracker at

       <http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=File-Which>

       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.
