I have decided that the whereis command sucks. Not only does it list directories with the -b option (it shouldn't), it's clearly not picking up every instance of an executable on my system. I triple checked the path to make sure, and a home grown program works as expected.
I'm half surprised GNU doesn't have their own whereis, given what a piece of junk this thing is. Time to replace the one I have with the one I wrote. :)
In other news, I'm surprised there was no mention of the latest Parrot release here on use.perl.

Ah, but when I'm running multiple versions of perl or ruby on the same machine in different locations, sometimes I need to remember where exactly I put them.I have no 'whence' command on my Mandrake 9 box it seems (not in my path, no manpage for it either).
On systems that have it I like the GNU locate command.
