NAME

pwhere - Pure Perl implementation of where

VERSION

version 1.17

SYNOPSIS

 $ pwhere perl

DESCRIPTION

"pwhere" is a comman-line utility program for finding paths to other programs based on the user's "PATH". It is similar to the usually Unix tool `where', and tries to emulate its functionality, but is written purely in Perl (uses the module "File::Which"), so is portable.

SUPPORT

Bugs should be reported via the GitHub issue tracker <https://github.com/uperl/App-pwhich/issues> For other issues, contact the maintainer.

CAVEATS

This module does not know about buil-in shell commands, as the buil-in command "which" and "where" usually do.

This module is fully supported back to Perl 5.8.1. It may work on 5.8.0.

If you want these executables installed without the "p" prefix (useful on platforms like windows that do not have their own native which or where), set "PERL_APP_PWHICH_NO_PREFIX" to "no-prefix" during install of this module.
