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.

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.
