Re: Understanding errors

I tried this (with -w) with Perl 5.003_03 (after installing Win32::AdminMisc) and got

Can't locate auto/Win32/AdminMisc/GetGroups.al
in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .)
at C:\WINNT\Profiles\DSMITH\Desktop\junk.pl line 4
[download]

GetGroups.al didn't install as part of the package. Neither did any help files :(

Perhaps there's something else you need to install (or some other package you need to use) to make this work. Does the book mention any prerequisites?

I hate this error and I specifically disable it in my modules. There is not supposed to be any GetGroups.al file as part of the distribution. This just means that the module uses an AUTOLOAD or (more likely) inherits from a module that uses an AUTOLOAD and the module doesn't define a GetGroups subroutine. The real problem is that last bit: The module doesn't define a GetGroups subroutine. Either you've got the wrong module or you've mispelled the subroutine name. - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply]

No unfortunately the book offers very little for the beginner. It assumes a lot. I have tried to USE: the POSIX module. This does not return the error just pegs my system at 100% CPU and does not return any values into the hash variable.	[reply]
