in thread getpwuid issue

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.
