I have perl installed on my system at C:\Perl.
now I need to write a script which if I run on any computer gives me the directory where perl is installed.
For e.g. on my system it should be
$perl whereisperl.pl
c:\Perl
{Factually what I really want to do is:
$whereisperl.bat
c:\Perl
}
I have tried seeing enviroment variables but none of the environment variables store any informatio except the PATH which stores a link to it and that too is filled with a huge number of paths. One option could be to parse that and get the path to Perl install directory but I feel there has to be a neater way. Also another problem I have is that I want to write a bat file so parsing is a little problem i want to avoid.
TIA
