in reply to The getpwnam function is unimplemented (in Windows)

You might want to look at User::pwent, which seems to provide a cross platform interface to the functions you're seeking.



Code is (almost) always untested.

    I'm afraid that that isn't going to help being, as it says on the tin, a " by-name interface to Perl's built-in getpw*() functions".

    I think making a wrapper round some Win32::* modules method so it has the same interface as getpwnam() will be the way to go.
