File::SearchPath - Search for a file in a PATH-like environment variable

This module can be used to search for files (which do not have to be
executable) in a set of directories specified in a PATH-like
environment variable such as $PATH, $LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or any
environment variable).

INSTALLATION

% perl Makefile.PL
% make
% make test
% make install

REQUIREMENTS

Should work on any perl. Can use the Env::Path module if it is
present, else colon-separated path variables are assumed.
