| Hello Charlie,
as said in another thread about the association of file handles and
file names, inside the package mechanism there is no introspection via
the association of package names and related source or shared object
file names!
The only way is currently to overload the package command/procedure
with your own version providing e.g. the subcommand "package location
packageName". Using the "package ifneeded" functionality, Bryan Oakley
pointed out, you would be able to maintain e.g. an array of package
names containing the source or shared object file names.
But ... that's all!
Best regards,
Martin
P.S.: Perhabs you could write a T.I.P. suggesting and implementing
such a introspection feature for the package mechanism?!
