File::Which

This is a Raku 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 raku executables in PATH
say which('raku', :all);

# First executable in PATH
say which('raku');

# Same as which('raku')
say whence('raku');
