Sorry about that. Did the old probe mechanism work on win32? > I suggest the use of the module File::Which (see the attached patch). > But I don't know if everybody is agree to depend of this module. File::Which is a rather small amount of code in a single file so I'd be inclined to include it in the Parrot tree rather then reinventing the wheel. I've always been puzzled as to why there isn't a core perl5 module with this functionality. What do others think about this proposal? -J --
