1 File::Which finds the full or relative paths to executable programs
2 on the system.
3 This is normally the function of which utility. which is typically
4 implemented as either a program or a built in shell command.
5 On some platforms, such as Microsoft Windows it is not provided as
6 part of the core operating system.
7 This module provides a consistent API to this functionality
8 regardless of the underlying platform.
10 The focus of this module is correctness and portability.
11 As a consequence platforms where the current directory is implicitly
12 part of the search path such as Microsoft Windows will find
13 executables in the current directory, whereas on platforms such as
14 UNIX where this is not the case executables in the current directory
15 will only be found if the current directory is explicitly added to
16 the path.
