NAME

       whiff - like which, but finds the first of all the given alternatives

VERSION

       version 0.006

DESCRIPTION

       which is a useful utility, found on most unix systems.  It gives you the absolute path for
       the first occurrence of a program in your path.  Unfortunately, it does two stupid things:
       first, if it can't find one, it prints an error message to stdout; secondly, if you give
       it multiple arguments, it assumes you want one line per argument, each like calling which
       individually.

       whiff assumes that all the arguments form a best-first list of alternatives, and only
       prints the path to the first alternative found in the path.  If none is found, it prints
       an error (to stderr!) and exits with an error code.

PERL VERSION SUPPORT

       This module has a long-term perl support period.  That means it will not require a version
       of perl released fewer than five years ago.

       Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum
       required version will not be increased.  The version may be increased for any reason, and
       there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.
