The File::Where module provides methods to find this information. For loaded files, using the hash %INC may perform better than using the methods in this module. SUBROUTINES is_module $program_module = is_module(@program_modules); The "is_module" subroutine determines if a *$module* is present in a list of modules "@modules". The detemination is case insensitive and only the leading characters are needed. dir_pms @program_modules = dir_pms( $dir ); The "dir_pms" subroutine returns the "@program_modules" in directory "$dir". program_modules @program_modules = program_modules( $dir, '$file_flag', @dirs); The "program_modules" subroutine returns the program_modules in the dir "File::Spec-"catdir($dir,@dirs) with an empty 'file_flag'; otherwise with a 'file_flag', "$dir" is a file specification and "program_modules" subroutine only uses the directory portion of "$dir". repository_pms @program_modules = repository_pms($repository); The "repository_pms" returns the "@program_modules" in "repository". A repository is the a program module name that corresponds to a directory. For example, a repository for "File::Where" is "File". pm2require subroutine $file = pm2require($pm_file) The *pm2require* method/subroutine returns the file suitable for use in a Perl "require" for the "$pm" program module. where subroutine The where subroutine is the core subroutine call by where_file, where_dir, where_pm and where_repository. When $no_file is absent, 0 or '', the where subroutine performs as established for the "where_file" subroutine; otherwise the where subroutine performs as established for the "where_dir" subroutine. The differences is that the "where" syntax only accepts a reference to an array path while the "where_dir" and "where_file" accept both a reference to an array path and an array path. where_dir subroutine When $nofile exists and is non-zero, the "find_in_include" method/subroutine looks for the "$relative_dir" under one of the directories in the "@path" ("@INC" path if "@path" is '' or 0) in the order listed in "@path" or "@INC". When *find_in_include* finds the directory, it returns the absolute file "$absolute_dir" and the directory "$path" where it found "$relative_dir" when the usage calls for an array return; otherwise, the absolute directory "$absolute_dir". When the "@path" list of directores exists and is not '' or 0, the "where_dir" subroutine/method searches the "@path" list of directories instead of the "@INC" list of directories. where_file subroutine When $nofile is '', 0 or absent, the "find_in_include" method/subroutine looks for the "$relative_file" in one of the directories in the "@path" ("@INC" path if "@path" is absent, '' or 0) in the order listed in "@path" or "@INC". When *find_in_include* finds the file, it returns the absolute file "$file_absolute" and the directory "$path" where it found "$file_relative" when the usage calls for an array return; otherwise, the absolute file "$file_absolute". When the "@path" list of directores exists and is not '' or 0, the "where_file" subroutine/method searches the "@path" list of directories instead of the "@INC" list of directories. where_pm subroutine In an array context, the *where_pm* subroutine/method returns the "$absolute_file", the directory "$inc_path" in "@INC", and the relative "$require_file" for the first directory in "@INC" list of directories where it found the program module "$pm"; otherwise, it returns just the "$absolute_file". When the "@path" list of directores exists and is not '' or 0, the "where_pm" subroutine/method searches the "@path" list of directories instead of the "@INC" list of directories. where_repository subroutine An repository specifies the location of a number of program modules. For example, the repository for this program module, "File::Where", is "File::". In an array context, the *where_repository* subroutine/method returns the "$absolute_directory", the directory "$inc_path" in "@INC" for the first directory in "@INC" list of directories, and the relative directory of the repository where it found the "$repository"; otherwise, it returns just the "$absolute_file".\ When *where_repository* cannot find a directory containing the "$repository" relative directory, *where_repository* pops the last directory off the "$repository" relative directory and trys again. If *where_repository* finds that "$repository" is empty, it returns emptys. for the "$repository"; otherwise, it returns just the "$absolute_directory". When the "@path" list of directores exists and is not '' or 0, the "where_repository" subroutine/method searches the "@path" list of directories instead of the "@INC" list of directories.

The "tmake.pl" cover script for Test::STDmaker automatically generated the "Where.t" test script, "Where.d" demo script, and "t::Data::Where" program module POD, from the "t::Data::Where" program module contents. The "t::Data::Where" program module is in the distribution file Data-Where-$VERSION.tar.gz.

As established by the Perl referenced documents, program modules, such the "File::Where" module, extend the Perl language. The subroutines in File::Where program module finds the absolute file or dir for a program module, program module repository, relative file, relative directory by searching the directories in the @INC array of directories or an override array of directories. The File::Where program module supercedes the File::PM2File program module. 1.3 Document overview. This document releases File::Where version 0.05 providing a description of the inventory, installation instructions and other information necessary to utilize and track this release. 3.0 VERSION DESCRIPTION All file specifications in this SVD use the Unix operating system file specification. 3.1 Inventory of materials released.

File-Where-0.02 Added code to where_pm for the boundary case where where_pm('File::Where') # subroutine interface 'File::Where'->where_pm('File::Where') # class interface This bug was discovered because the obsoleted File::PM2File module now uses File::Where for backwards compatibility.

The program module name is 'FindBin' not 'FindBIN' which is part of Perl. Microsoft does not care about capitalization differences while linux does. This error is in the test script automatically generated by "Test::STDmaker" and was just introduced when moved test script libraries from "tlib" to the directory of the test script. Repaired "Test::STDmaker" and regenerated the distribution. File-Where-0.04 Subject: FAIL File-Where-0.03 ppc-darwin-thread-multi 7.2.0 From: nothingmuch@woobling.org Date: Fri, 9 Apr 2004 21:59:10 +0300 (IDT) # Test 19 got: '/private/var/cpanplus/5.8.3/build/File-Where-0.03/blib/lib/File/Whe re.pm' (t/File/where.t at line 277) # Expected: '/private/var/cpanplus/5.8.3/build/File-Where-0.03/lib/File/Where.pm ' If doing a target site install, the install software going to place the "blib" directory up front in @INC Changed the file test to locate the include directory with high probability of having the first "File::Where" in the include path in determining the expected value. Really does not cheapen test by doing a quasi where search where actual does the same. The object of the test to validate boundary condition where the class, 'File::Where', is the same as the program module 'File::Where that the 'where' subroutine/method is locating. There are plenty of successful test where "where" finds directories and files as expected. File-Where-0.05 Rework the POD NOTES and QUALITY ASSURANCE sections. File-Where-0.06 Added the "is_module", "program_modules", "repository_pms" and "dir_pms" subroutines. 3.4 Adaptation data. This installation requires that the installation site has the Perl programming language installed. There are no other additional requirements or tailoring needed of configurations files, adaptation data or other software needed for this installation particular to any installation site. 3.5 Related documents.
