Note that the original post pertained to a Unix-like system (not Windows) -
and the answer you've quoted above pertains primarily to Unix-like systems.

On Unix -like systems if you were to enter 'which perl' at the command line,
then the fully qualified path to the perl executable would be returned.

On windows the same command could successfully be run in the msys shell, or
in Cygwin's bash shell - and perhaps some other shells, too - but not the
cmd.exe shell, unless you've installed a which.exe such as that available
from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html (as I have done):

E:\downloads>which perl
D:/perl58_M/5.8.8/bin/perl.EXE

Cheers,
Rob
