=head1 NAME
preppath - prepend directories to path
=head1 SYNOPSIS
preppath [-c] [-v variable] directory...
=head1 DESCRIPTION
preppath prepends the directories given as arguments to the PATH,
eliminates any duplicates and prints the new path on stdout.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-c>
Check whether the directories exist before adding them. Nonexistent
directories are silently ignored.
=item B<-v> I<variable>
Use the environment variable I<variable> instead of PATH.
This is useful for manipulating other PATH-like variables, like
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PERL5LIB, etc.
=item B<-e>
Print a complete export statement ready to be eval'd by a POSIX shell.
=item B<-p>
Print a complete variable assignment statement ready to be eval'd by a
POSIX shell. Unlike the C<-e> option this does not prepend the export
keyword, so the variable is private unless it is exported elsewhere.
=item B<-r>
Reverse order of arguments. This is useful if you have several versions
of a software installed and you want the one with the highest version
number first in your path.
