Not as pretty, but seems to do the same thing?

In this case, my intention was to use the sorting of the output to illustrate in an immediately easy-to-see manner, the relationship between

sitelib, sitelibexp and installsitelib
, and then the comparison to the same series for sitearch, for example.

In this case the "prettiness" is part of the point, and otherwise of course TMTOWTDI. But note that your alternative certainly falls lower on the portability scale since you are relying on the which tool, which is *nix-centric, and won't be present on many MS Windows boxes, as is also true of the grep command. Although I didn't write this tool on M$ Windows, it's certainly my intention that Win32-Perl users can use it as well as *nix-perl users.

Thanks for your feedback!
