+=head1 NAME
+
+File::Which - Portable implementation of the `which' utility
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use File::Which; # exports which()
+ use File::Which qw(which where); # exports which() and where()
+
+ my $exe_path = which('perldoc');
+
+ my @paths = where('perl');
+ - Or -
+ my @paths = which('perl'); # an array forces search for all of them
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<File::Which> was created to be able to get the paths to executable programs
+on systems under which the `which' program wasn't implemented in the shell.
+
+C<File::Which> searches the directories of the user's C<PATH> (as returned by
+C<File::Spec-E<gt>path()>), looking for executable files having the name specified
+as a parameter to C<which()>. Under Win32 systems, which do not have a notion of
+directly executable files, but uses special extensions such as C<.exe> and
+C<.bat> to identify them, C<File::Which> takes extra steps to assure that you
+will find the correct file (so for example, you might be searching for C<perl>,
+it'll try C<perl.exe>, C<perl.bat>, etc.)
+
+=head1 Steps Used on Win32, DOS, OS2 and VMS
+
+=head2 Windows NT
+
+Windows NT has a special environment variable called C<PATHEXT>, which is used
+by the shell to look for executable files. Usually, it will contain a list in
+the form C<.EXE;.BAT;.COM;.JS;.VBS> etc. If C<File::Which> finds such an
+environment variable, it parses the list and uses it as the different extensions.
+
+=head2 Windows 9x and other ancient Win/DOS/OS2
+
+This set of operating systems don't have the C<PATHEXT> variable, and usually
+you will find executable files there with the extensions C<.exe>, C<.bat> and
+(less likely) C<.com>. C<File::Which> uses this hardcoded list if it's running
+under Win32 but does not find a C<PATHEXT> variable.
+
+=head2 VMS
+
+Same case as Windows 9x: uses C<.exe> and C<.com> (in that order).
+
+=head1 Functions
+
+=head2 which($short_exe_name)
+
+Exported by default.
+
+C<$short_exe_name> is the name used in the shell to call the program (for
+example, C<perl>).
+
+If it finds an executable with the name you specified, C<which()> will return
+the absolute path leading to this executable (for example, C</usr/bin/perl> or
+C<C:\Perl\Bin\perl.exe>).
+
+If it does I<not> find the executable, it returns C<undef>.
+
+If C<which()> is called in list context, it will return I<all> the
+matches.
+
+=head2 where($short_exe_name)
+
+Not exported by default.
+
+Same as C<which($short_exe_name)> in array context. Same as the
+C<`where'> utility, will return an array containing all the path names
+matching C<$short_exe_name>.
+
+
+=head1 Bugs and Caveats
+
+Not tested on VMS or MacOS, although there is platform specific code
+for those. Anyone who haves a second would be very kind to send me a
+report of how it went.
+
+File::Spec adds the current directory to the front of PATH if on
+Win32, VMS or MacOS. I have no knowledge of those so don't know if the
+current directory is searced first or not. Could someone please tell
+me?

+Per Einar Ellefsen, E<lt>per.einar (at) skynet.beE<gt>
+
+Originated in I<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 C<File::Which>.
+
+Version 0.04 had some significant platform-related changes, taken from
+the Perl Power Tools C<`which'> implementation by Abigail with
+enhancements from Peter Prymmer. See
+http://www.perl.com/language/ppt/src/which/index.html for more
+information.
