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.
