Jeremy,
Is there a method in the File::Spec module, that returns the path directories in
a list no matter what the OS? Is so, wouldn't the File::Spec module, be able to
handle the need for the use of the $splitchar and the need to build the list of
dirctories via a loop? Perhaps there is no function/method to get the path in a
list? If there isn't then the @dir must still be built via the loop, so this
would not help. If you look at the rest of Jenda's Which.pm you might see what I
mean.
