| Hans-G?nter@24213 | 1 File::Which finds the full or relative paths to executable programs |
| Hans-G?nter@24213 | 2 on the system. |
| Hans-G?nter@24213 | 3 This is normally the function of which utility. which is typically |
| Hans-G?nter@24213 | 4 implemented as either a program or a built in shell command. |
| Hans-G?nter@24213 | 5 On some platforms, such as Microsoft Windows it is not provided as |
| Hans-G?nter@24213 | 6 part of the core operating system. |
| Hans-G?nter@24213 | 7 This module provides a consistent API to this functionality |
| Hans-G?nter@24213 | 8 regardless of the underlying platform. |
| Hans-G?nter@24213 | 9 |
| Hans-G?nter@24213 | 10 The focus of this module is correctness and portability. |
| Hans-G?nter@24213 | 11 As a consequence platforms where the current directory is implicitly |
| Hans-G?nter@24213 | 12 part of the search path such as Microsoft Windows will find |
| Hans-G?nter@24213 | 13 executables in the current directory, whereas on platforms such as |
| Hans-G?nter@24213 | 14 UNIX where this is not the case executables in the current directory |
| Hans-G?nter@24213 | 15 will only be found if the current directory is explicitly added to |
| Hans-G?nter@24213 | 16 the path. |
