in thread Questions about creating CPAN modules

Thanks,

I'll have a study on Module::Install and it's requires_external_bin.

which: Seek and ye shall find... I should have sought first. It appears that CPAN already has a File::Which. One down...

cat: While there is a File::Cat, it appears to merely concatenate files, whereas I was using cat for it's ability to expand environment variables and assorted backticked commands. For example:

cat <<EOT It is `date` and $USER needs more coffee. EOT

I'm not even sure where to begin to re-impliment that in perl.
