Apache 2 - am I doing it wrong?

I have had that for ages:
$echo $PATH
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/Users/me/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/ 
sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin

Maybe it can not be changed:
DESCRIPTION
      The whereis utility checks the standard binary directories for  
the speci-
      fied programs, printing out the paths of any it finds.

I think the answer is going to be to use `which`

$which perl
	/opt/local/bin/perl
$whereis perl
	/usr/bin/perl

Or maybe even better:
$which -a perl
	/opt/local/bin/perl
	/usr/bin/perl
