hi all, i am relatively new to perl.

i am doing a project that requires to grab data from gps receiver.

the software i am using is schedg.

i am running ubuntu 8.10.

the name of the file generating error is schedg_client.pl

i tried to run the standalone version after configuring:

SCHEDGCONFIG=~/Schedg/xml/Schedg.xml ./schedg_client.pl --configfile ~/Schedg/client/direct-ttyS0 --user USER

but i got an error stated below:
Cannot get uid for user at ./schedg_client.pl line 91, <HI> line 14.

any help from anyone?
thanks!!

a copy of the script:
can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/schedg

the perl file is in the folder schedg-2.0.b4/schedg-2.0.b4/bin

while the readme.txt is in the folder schedg-2.0.b4/schedg-2.0.b4/setup/docs
