Re: How to get file owner name?

I never used it, but I suppose you can use getpwuid for that.

Update: this should work

my $uid = (stat $filename)[4]
my $user = (getpwuid $uid)[0]

getpwuid is a NIX/POSIX-ism. Odds are you're on an OS which isn't (or which makes a very poor showing of) POSIX-compatible (e.g.* Windows).	[reply]

I'm not loading any additional module (just "use strict;"), it does not seem to be necessary. Which version of Perl are you using?	[reply]
