I want to determine if a particular exectuable file is
available/exists within the path. Is there a switch or function
available to with/instead of the -x test? I have an example to
illustrate the results of what I want to do with a simpler approach.
If you want it nicely packaged you
Jenda,
WOW.. ask and you shall receive. Thanks!
Nice work. It is almost as if you just created that as if I wrote that
email?
I was looking at the module and I was wondering ... in the following routine
-
if ($^O =~ /MSWin32/i) {
foreach $extn (@extn) {
-e $dir.'/'.$file.$extn and
... meant to include this in previous email
Example:
D:\test_file.pl
Path to perl is : C:\Perl\bin\/perl.EXE
D:\test_file.pl
Path to notepad is : C:\WINNT\system32/notepad.EXE

Jenda,
What do think about these changes I propose to your module?
I didn't realize it was so easy to write perl module?
Man, I love Perl.
foreach $dir (@dirs) {
$dir = '.' unless $dir;
chop $dir if $dir =~ /\\$|\/$/; # Change 1 - strip off ending slash if it
exists
if ($^O =~
Even better, use the File::Spec::* modules to get portable file
handling routines:
use File::Spec;
foreach $dir (@dirs) {
$dir = File::Spec-curdir unless $dir;
$dir = File::Spec-canonpath( $dir );
if ($^O =~ /MSWin32/i) {
foreach $extn (@extn) {
-e File::Spec-catfile(

No. I only dug it up in my old files.

Actually,
I would bet that the other instances of detecting the OS could be resolved
using the File::Spec module as well?
I have attached Jenda's Which.pm Version 0.3

Jenda,
I used the routine proposed by Jeremy in his reply and that also works very
nicely.

I'm not sure what you mean John.
I suggested File::Spec to portably handle file
Jeremy,
Is there a method in the File::Spec module, that returns the path directories in
a list no matter what the OS? Is so, wouldn't the File::Spec module, be able to
handle the need for the use of the $splitchar and the need to build the list of
dirctories via a loop? Perhaps there is no
