# [DESCRIPTION](#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](#OPTIONS)

[**-h**, **-?**, **--help**](#h)

Print this help message and exit.

[**-f**, **--full**](#f)

Print module name.

[**-q**, **--quiet**](#q)
