NAME
       whiff - like which, but finds the first of all the given alternatives

USAGE
	whiff <command ... >

DESCRIPTION
       which is a useful utility, found on most unix systems.  It gives you the absolute path for the first occurance of a program in your path.
       Unfortunately, it does two stupid things:  first, if it can't find one, it prints an error message to stdout; secondly, if you give it
       multiple arguments, it assumes you want one line per argument, each like calling which individually.

       whiff assumes that all the arguments form a best-first list of alternatives, and only prints the path to the first alternative found in the
       path.  If none is found, it prints an error (to stderr!) and exits with an error code.

BUGS
       Please report any bugs or feature requests through the web interface at <http://rt.cpan.org>. I will be notified, and then you'll
       automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.
