okay bestie, buckle up, we're looking at where(3pm) — a lil Perl manual page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and honestly? it's giving "short but iconic". 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

OpaL::where — a Perl extension for locating system resources. no cap, that's literally the whole job description. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

the way you summon this thing is so simple:

use OpaL::where qw(which);

that's it. that's the vibe. qw(which) is you picking the one function you want out of the module, like choosing your fighter in smash. 👑

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

OpaL::where is a module for locating system resources.

lowkey that's all it says and honestly? it ate. it's a resource-finder. it finds things. main character energy. ✨

🌈 FUNCTIONS 🌈

🌟 which

okay so which is the star of the show here, the moment, the whole reason we're gathered. 🫶

You hand it a program name, and it goes digging through the PATH environment variable looking for that program. When it finds it, it hands you back the path to the executable. 💖

and if it can't find any program with that name? you get undef. not an error, not a scream, just a quiet lil undef. 😭

this one is similar to the program with the same name — go peek at which(1) for that one. iykyk.

USAGE:

$t = "which"("perl");

fr fr, that's the whole call. 💀✨
