=head1 NAME

aperl514 - execute perlscript on ActivePerl 5.14 without %PATH% settings (poor App::perlbrew)

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<aperl514> [perlscript.pl]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This software is useful when ActivePerl 5.14 and other version of perl are on the one
computer. Do not set perl 5.14's bin directory to %PATH%.

It is necessary to install perl 5.14 in "\Perl514\bin" directory of the drive of
either. This software is executed by perl 5.14, and find the perl 5.14 and execute it.

 Find perl 5.14 order by,
     Z:\Perl514\bin\perl.exe
     Y:\Perl514\bin\perl.exe
     X:\Perl514\bin\perl.exe
                 :
                 :
     C:\Perl514\bin\perl.exe

When found it at last, set its path to environment variable APERL514BIN.

=head1 EXAMPLES

    C:\> aperl514 foo.pl
    [..execute foo.pl by perl 5.14..]
