Greetings monks

I'm in need of the Win32::Perms module on a Windows system with Activestate Perl installed on it. The module will be in a directory, and will not be installed on the system. Still, I need to get the owner/group/perms of files and directories in my script, and I don't think there's any other way than win32::perl (or is there?).

I tried putting the module in the same dir as the script and doing a "Use Perms". I tried setting %PERL5LIB% to the path of the location of the module (a %var% like this still looks icky. ugh.) but this didn't work either. I tried "use lib" with the correct path so its added to @INC but I get the errormessage saying it can't locate a loadable object to be used for this module. What to do? How can I still make use of this module?

Best regards

Quoth
