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



Hi Monks,

Does anyone have win32::Perms module tar.gz file to download. Because I need it to get the owner information of the file and folders of Win32 system. The version of Perl I have is Activestate Perl 5.8.7 build 815 for Windows. I tried to download from http://www.roth.net/perl/packages/x86/Win32/Perms_5008.tar.gz but it didn't work. I got the following error when I used the module. "Can't locate loadable object for module Win32::Perms in @INC (@INC contains: C:/ Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .) at somefile.pl line 19"

Does anyone have the right zip file for the module ? Can anyone forward it to me ?

Thanks.

    That is the right file to download. If thats the error you're getting, you're missing auto\Win32\Perms\Perms.DLL, which means you didn't install the module correctly. Try 
    ppm install http://www.roth.net/perl/packages/Win32-Perms.ppd
