Win32/SearchPath version 0.02 ============================= Win32::SearchPath - Perl extension for the Win32 API SearchPath. SYNOPSIS use Win32::SearchPath; $FullPath = SearchPath ('perl'); $FullPath = SearchPath ('perl', 'C:\\Bin;C:\\Perl\Bin;D:\\Bin'); DESCRIPTION This module is specifically for use with Win32::Process::Create. That interface requires the full path name of the executable, which SearchPath provides. $FULL_PATH = SearchPath(FILENAME) Search for the specified FILENAME in the standard Windows search path. By default the extension ".exe" is added to FILENAME, but this is ignored if it already has an extension. Alternatively a specific 'Path' list may be specified: $FULL_PATH = SearchPath(FILENAME,PATHLIST) PATHLIST must be a list of directory names separated by semi-colons (';'). Only these directory names will be searched for FILENAME, sub-directories are not searched unless they are specifically included in the list. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES This module will only run on Microsoft Windows, and requires a C compiler, a linker, and a 'make' utility for installation.
