Hello, I gave the VMS::User Module a try with Perl 5.6.0. This did not build anymore, due to some missing declarations. The following diff shows how to fix this: $ diff makefile.pl makefile.pl;1 ************ File DISK$USER:[ZINSER.TMP.VMS-USER-0_01]MAKEFILE.PL;3 8 'DEFINE' => 'PERL_POLLUTE=1', # e.g., '-DHAVE_SOMETHING' 9 'INC' => '', # e.g., '-I/usr/include/other' ****** File DISK$USER:[ZINSER.TMP.VMS-USER-0_01]MAKEFILE.PL;1 8 'DEFINE' => '', # e.g., '-DHAVE_SOMETHING' 9 'INC' => '', # e.g., '-I/usr/include/other' ************ I've also written a short example to VMS::User, that just loops through all parameters of getuai and displays them for the current user. This might save someone a lookup in the fine manual. In case there is interest I can either post it here or sent it via private email. Greetings, Martin
