Copy and paste the source code of HTTP::DAV into your program.

Alternatively, you can automate the site through your browser, for example using my module, WWW::Mechanize::Firefox. But I'm not sure whether that module is available through PPM either. See above.

Also, if WWW::Mechanize "fails", maybe you want to investigate and tell us how it fails? Also see Sharepoint or Super Search on "Sharepoint".

"i can't use anything that's not in PPM (ActivePerl) and I can't add external repo to it"

Why? Did you try using Win32::IE::Mechanize?

Can't download (not supposed to) any module. That's why..
Even though i love Win32::IE::Mechanize...I can't download it here :( I Don't think i can download SOAP::LITE as well.. It's not in PPM...

"Can't download (not supposed to) any module. That's why.. "

<Sigh>, read Yes, even you can use CPAN. You seem to have used another IE automantion module previously, why aren't you using it now?

Yes: I do use CPAN modules...But only in my home computer...
I'm sitting @workplace which has certain restrictions...
It's not just the perl modules (CPAN), I can't download any files (ANY) from anywhere.

If the inability to download files is your biggest hurdle, you can just build a CPAN mirror with CPAN::Mini, store it on a USB stick (it's about ~1GB in size, smaller if you exclude all Acme modules), and take it to your work computer.

Anywhere? Not even via PPM?

Reassigning ownership of a large group of Sharepoint files. That sounds like a frequent operation for a Sharepoint administrator. Perhaps the solution is a friendly request to your site administrator? Alternatively, maybe Sharepoint relies on the OS to maintain file ownerships & permissions, so your second avenue might be to ask the servers administrator. (I don't use Sharepoint, so this is merely a guess.)

SharePoint does not rely on the O/S for file permissions. SharePoint content is stored as BLOBS in MSSQL databases.

Reassigning ownership can be done for a fairly large number of files very quickly (by a site collection administrator) but apparently the number here chokes the web interface. Wouldn't be the first time.

The command-line utility for SharePoint does not, AFAIK, include an operation to assign ownership of files or list items. (UPDATE) There are many other things I've used it for in qx//, but this isn't there.(/UPDATE)

girarde has been administering two large SharePoint farms fulltime for about a year and a half, and was running farms and/or bits and pieces of them since 2004.

Okay, let’s all get “back on-point” here.   Is there any way that this problem can be solved?

For instance (and I don’t know the answer to this...) does Microsoft provide any sort of command-line utility that we might be able to fire-off a couple thousand times with qx//?   (I know that they are rather-begrudgingly rediscovering the usefulness of shells these days.)

This is clearly a one-off task, looking for some quick-and-dirty solution.
