     1.4 +File::Which finds the full or relative paths to executable programs
     1.5 +on the system.
     1.6 +This is normally the function of which utility. which is typically
     1.7 +implemented as either a program or a built in shell command.
     1.8 +On some platforms, such as Microsoft Windows it is not provided as
     1.9 +part of the core operating system.
    1.10 +This module provides a consistent API to this functionality
    1.11 +regardless of the underlying platform.
    1.12 +
    1.13 +The focus of this module is correctness and portability.
    1.14 +As a consequence platforms where the current directory is implicitly
    1.15 +part of the search path such as Microsoft Windows will find
    1.16 +executables in the current directory, whereas on platforms such as
    1.17 +UNIX where this is not the case executables in the current directory
    1.18 +will only be found if the current directory is explicitly added to
    1.19 +the path.
