c has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
hello all,
i'm making the attempt to get a script i've written fully compatible with the win32 platform. i'm running active state perl Perl v5.6.1 , binary build 631
right off the bat, i am running into problems. my script makes a call to getpwuid to place the value into a variable
## pull as global for filename comments my $user = getpwuid($<);
however, this produces the following error
'The getpwuid function is unimplemented at pancho line 184.'
i checked over on Active State's website and in their docs section, they make a reference to the entire getpw group. it certainly seems as though the fuction is available to the distribution.
has anyone encountered this? is my code incorrect for a win32 platform (Win2k)?
humbly -c
