File::Which
This is a Perl 6 Object-oriented port of File::Which (CPAN).
File::Which finds the full or relative paths to an executable program on the
system. This is normally the function of which utility which is typically
implemented as either a program or a built in shell command. On some unfortunate
platforms, such as Microsoft Windows it is not provided as part of the core
operating system.
This module provides a consistent API to this functionality regardless of the
underlying platform.
use File::Which :whence;
# All perl executables in PATH
say which('perl6', :all);
# First executable in PATH
say which('perl6');
# Same as which('perl6')
say whence('perl6');
