in reply to getpwuid issue

Did you Super Search before posting? See Net::SSH::Perl script in windows - getpwuid is unimplemented (again Super Search or google for more examples), you've also not posted any code for anyone to look at. Read and understand How do I post a question effectively?.

Update: Are we to assume that this relates to run a perl script on a unix machine from a win machine?

    The code is fairly simple - given a file - $basename 
    if (-e $basename)
{
$attrs = stat($basename);
my $fileOwnerID = $attrs->uid;
$fileOwner = (getpwuid $fileOwnerID)[0];
#$fileOwner = sprintf "%s",stat($basename)->uid;
my $groupID = $attrs->gid;
$groupName = (getgrgid $groupID)[0];
}

    So if getpwuid is not implemented or cannot be used in Windows...how do I get the name of the owner of a file ?

      "The code is fairly simple"

      In future, as described in How do I post a question effectively? consider posting a minimal example which demonstrates the problem in your first post, rather than people having to draw information from you piece meal. I suggest you actually google search getptuid to find out what it is, and why it doesn't work on your platform.
