Run this program and add the output to your .bashrc or .bash_profile or autoexec.bat
#!/usr/bin/perl -- use strict; use warnings; use Config; Main( @ARGV ); exit( 0 ); sub Main { my $sep = $Config{path_sep}; my $pat = 'export PATH=%s$PATH'; $pat = 'set PATH=%s%%PATH%%' if $sep eq ';' ; printf "$pat\n", join $sep, ( uniq( grep length, grep defined, map { $Config{$_} } qw' installsitebin installvendorbin installbin ' ), ), ''; } sub uniq (@) { my %seen = (); grep { not $seen{$_}++ } @_; } __END__
The output looks like
export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH
or
set PATH=c:\perl\5.12.2\bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread;c:\perl\site\5.12 +.2\bin;c:\perl\5.12.2\bin;%PATH%

It is based on
$ perl -V:installsitebin -V:installvendorbin -V:installbin -V:insta +llsitescript -V:installvendorscript -V:installscript installsitebin='c:\perl\5.12.2\bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread'; installvendorbin=''; installbin='c:\perl\5.12.2\bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread'; installsitescript='c:\perl\site\5.12.2\bin'; installvendorscript=''; installscript='c:\perl\5.12.2\bin'; $ perl -V:installsitebin -V:installvendorbin -V:installbin -V:insta +llsitescript -V:installvendorscript -V:installscript installsitebin='/usr/bin'; installvendorbin='/usr/bin'; installbin='/usr/bin'; installsitescript='UNKNOWN'; installvendorscript='UNKNOWN'; installscript='/usr/bin';
