Hello everyone,
Hopefully, I'm not asking a question that has already been dealt with.
First, let me tell you what I am doing:
Currently, I have AS Perl v 5.005 installed on a WinNT box. The root directory of the Perl installation is configured as a share point. With this share point, I can set the path on a remote machine as:
path = %path%;\\server\perlshare\bin
and then set the PERLLIB environment variable as:
set perllib = \\server\perlshare\lib;\\server\perlshare\site\lib
After doing this, I can run Perl scripts on the remote machine using the Perl install on the WinNT server. One of the modules that is installed on this system is Roth's Win32::AdminMisc (ver 0.2000.07.08).
I am in the process of replacing the WinNT server with a server running W2K. I have loaded AS Perl 5.6.1, configured the root directory as a network share and have loaded the modules I need, one of which is Roth's Win32::Admin (ver 0.2003.07.14 - the most current).
After setting the PATH and the PERLLIB environment variables, I ran a little test script (code provided below) I created which does nothing more than enumerate the group names from our W2K domain controller - note that I am running the script on a member server of the same domain. When running the script, it appears that the script abends because the "Test done" message never gets displayed.
However, if I point my PATH and PERLLIB environment variables to my original Perl installed on the WinNT machine, and run the script from the same machine, the script runs as expected.
Does anyone know if this is a known issue with Roth's Win32::AdminMisc module? I've checked his news server and have seen rumblings of similar issues, but no one (including D. Roth) has confirmed this to be a real issue. Or, is this possible a module installation/configuration issue?
I also saw someone mention in a newsgroup that since AS Perl is written in VC 6.0 and Roth is using VC 7.0 that there are compatiblity issues. Depending on the runtime environments, I can see where this may or may not be an issue. I certianly don't profess to be an expert in the VC world, so my knowledge is limited, again leaving me to wonder what the real issue is.
Any help or knowledge anyone can pass on is greatly appreciated.
Perl code follows (server name has been changed to protect the innocent):
use Win32::AdminMisc; @List=();
if (Win32::AdminMisc::GetGroups('\\server',GROUP_TYPE_ALL,[EMAIL PROTECTED])) { foreach $group (@List) {print "$group\n";
}
}
print "Test done\n";
