NAME

mpath - display the full path to a perl module (installed locally)

USAGE

EXAMPLE

  % mpath Module::Path
  /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.0/Module/Path.pm
  % mpath --full Module::Path

DESCRIPTION

mpath displays the full path to a perl module on the local system. It uses the "module_path()" function from Module::Path to get the path.

If one of the module wasn't found, mpath will exit with the exit code 1 and print the following message (you can silence it with the option --quiet):

  % mpath Foo::Bar
  Foo::Bar not found

or:

  % mpath Moose Foo::Bar
  /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.0/darwin-2level/Moose.pm
  Foo::Bar not found

OPTIONS

Print this help message and exit.
Print module name.
Don't print any error when one of the module requested could not be found.
