reddevil has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Am trying to run the below code in Perl:  symlink($oldname,$newname) or die print "$!\n"; but I get an error saying:  The symlink function is unimplemented at C:\...\CreateSymlink.pl line 14. If I change the code to:  link($oldname,$newname) or die print "$!\n"; then the hard links are being created without errors.

Using activestate Perl and Windows 7 32-bit. Any ideas why this is happening? I am trying to create symbolic links for a file.

P.S: I am a total newbie to Perl.
