See `$^X` and/or `@INC` (in perlvar).	[reply] [d/l] [select]

As Corion indicated, for perl, all you need is: `C:\test>perl -E"say $^X" C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe` [download] In general, you could use the following simple .cmd file: `@echo off for %%i in (%1) do @echo %%~$PATH:i` [download] Which I call pf.cmd (for PathFinder), and use it like this: `C:\test>pf perl.exe C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe C:\test>pf msinfo32.exe C:\Windows\System32\msinfo32.exe C:\test>pf nmake.exe c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\amd64\nmake. +exe C:\test>pf tp.cmd C:\Perl64\bin\tp.cmd` [download] With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

I always just echo %PATH% and look for it in there. But I don't generally use the install path the way i do in linux, in windows, I'll invoke my scripts using "perl perlscript.pl (command-line-args)" in windows commandline...	[reply]

You could also install File::Which, which includes a Perl-based version of 'which' called 'pwhich': `C:\>pwhich perl C:\Apps\perl\bin\perl.EXE` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
