DESCRIPTION
    From time to time, an program needs to know the abolute file for a
    program module that has not been loaded. The File::PM2File module
    provides methods to find this information. For loaded files, using the
    hash %INC may perform better than using the methods in this module.

METHODS/SUBROUTINES
  pm2require subroutine
     $file = pm2require($pm_file)

    The *pm2require* method/subroutine returns the file suitable for use in
    a Perl "require" for the $pm program module.

  where subroutine
    The where subroutine is the core subroutine call by where_file,
    where_dir, where_pm and where_repository.

    When $no_file is absent, 0 or '', the where subroutine performs as
    established for the "where_file" subroutine; otherwise the where
    subroutine performs as established for the "where_dir" subroutine.

    The differences is that the "where" syntax only accepts a reference to
    an array path while the "where_dir" and "where_file" accept both a
    reference to an array path and an array path.

  where_dir subroutine
    When $nofile exists and is non-zero, the "find_in_include"
    method/subroutine looks for the $relative_dir under one of the
    directories in the @path (@INC path if @path is '' or 0) in the order
    listed in @path or @INC. When *find_in_include* finds the directory, it
    returns the absolute file $absolute_dir and the directory $path where it
    found $relative_dir when the usage calls for an array return; otherwise,
    the absolute directory $absolute_dir.

    When the @path list of directores exists and is not '' or 0, the
    "where_dir" subroutine/method searches the @path list of directories
    instead of the @INC list of directories.

  where_file subroutine
    When $nofile is '', 0 or absent, the "find_in_include" method/subroutine
    looks for the $relative_file in one of the directories in the @path
    (@INC path if @path is absent, '' or 0) in the order listed in @path or
    @INC. When *find_in_include* finds the file, it returns the absolute
    file $file_absolute and the directory $path where it found
    $file_relative when the usage calls for an array return; otherwise, the
    absolute file $file_absolute.

    When the @path list of directores exists and is not '' or 0, the
    "where_file" subroutine/method searches the @path list of directories
    instead of the @INC list of directories.

  where_pm subroutine
    In an array context, the *where_pm* subroutine/method returns the
    $absolute_file, the directory $inc_path in @INC, and the relative
    $require_file for the first directory in @INC list of directories where
    it found the program module $pm; otherwise, it returns just the
    $absolute_file.

    When the @path list of directores exists and is not '' or 0, the
    "where_pm" subroutine/method searches the @path list of directories
    instead of the @INC list of directories.

  where_repository subroutine
    An repository specifies the location of a number of program modules. For
    example, the repository for this program module, "File::Where", is
    "File::".

    In an array context, the *where_repository* subroutine/method returns
    the $absolute_directory, the directory $inc_path in @INC for the first
    directory in @INC list of directories, and the relative directory of the
    repository where it found the $repository; otherwise, it returns just
    the $absolute_file.\ When *where_repository* cannot find a directory
    containing the $repository relative directory, *where_repository* pops
    the last directory off the $repository relative directory and trys
    again. If *where_repository* finds that $repository is empty, it returns
    emptys.

    for the $repository; otherwise, it returns just the $absolute_directory.

    When the @path list of directores exists and is not '' or 0, the
    "where_repository" subroutine/method searches the @path list of
    directories instead of the @INC list of directories.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
    Running the test script 'PM2File.t' found in the
    "File-PM2File-$VERSION.tar.gz" distribution file verifies the
    requirements for this module.

    All testing software and documentation stems from the Software Test
    Description (STD) program module 't::File::PM2File', found in the
    distribution file "File-PM2File-$VERSION.tar.gz".

    The 't::File::PM2File' STD POD contains a tracebility matix between the
    requirements established above for this module, and the test steps
    identified by a 'ok' number from running the 'PM2File.t' test script.

    The t::File::PM2File' STD program module '__DATA__' section contains the
    data to perform the following:

    *   to generate the test script 'PM2File.t'

    *   generate the tailored STD POD in the 't::File::PM2File' module,

    *   generate the 'PM2File.d' demo script,

    *   replace the POD demonstration section herein with the demo script
        'PM2File.d' output, and

    *   run the test script using Test::Harness with or without the verbose
        option,

    To perform all the above, prepare and run the automation software as
    follows:

    *   Install "Test_STDmaker-$VERSION.tar.gz" from one of the
        respositories only if it has not been installed:

        *   http://www.softwarediamonds/packages/

        *   http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/authors/id/S/SO/SOFTDIA/

    *   manually place the script tmake.pl in
        "Test_STDmaker-$VERSION.tar.gz' in the site operating system
        executable path only if it is not in the executable path

    *   place the 't::File::PM2File' at the same level in the directory
        struture as the directory holding the 'File::PM2File' module

    *   execute the following in any directory:

         tmake -test_verbose -replace -run -pm=t::File::PM2File

NOTES
  FILES
    The installation of the "File-PM2File-$VERSION.tar.gz" distribution file
    installs the 'Docs::Site_SVD::File_PM2File' SVD program module.

    The __DATA__ data section of the 'Docs::Site_SVD::File_PM2File' contains
    all the necessary data to generate the POD section of
    'Docs::Site_SVD::File_PM2File' and the "File-PM2File-$VERSION.tar.gz"
    distribution file.

    To make use of the 'Docs::Site_SVD::File_PM2File' SVD program module,
    perform the following:

    *   install "ExtUtils-SVDmaker-$VERSION.tar.gz" from one of the
        respositories only if it has not been installed:

        *   http://www.softwarediamonds/packages/

        *   http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/authors/id/S/SO/SOFTDIA/

    *   manually place the script vmake.pl in
        "ExtUtils-SVDmaker-$VERSION.tar.gz' in the site operating system
        executable path only if it is not in the executable path

    *   Make any appropriate changes to the __DATA__ section of the
        'Docs::Site_SVD::File_PM2File' module. For example, any changes to
        'File::PM2File' will impact the at least 'Changes' field.

    *   Execute the following:

         vmake readme_html all -pm=Docs::Site_SVD::File_PM2File

  3.7 Possible problems and known errors
    There is still much work needed to ensure the quality of this module as
    follows:

    *   State the functional requirements for each method including not only
        the GO paths but also what to expect for the NOGO paths

    *   All the tests are GO path tests. Should add NOGO tests.
