Martin, I'm in the VMSperl doghouse at the moment, because I committed to fix the problems with test, and have yet to dig into that. At one point, I had a problem with Dan Sugalski's VMS::User because I have several systems where user is a logical name (dates back to the MicroVMS operating system variant, which defined that as a system wide logical during startup). As a result, I created a version 1.02 (I think) which never got anywhere; I made a few minor tweaks, and renamed VMS::User to VMS::VMSUser and got in trouble (Hello, Dan) when I intermixed VMSuser and VMSUser. I think this is an incredibly useful module, and once I'm caught up with test, I'll go back and dig into it again. Please e-mail me your examples whether you post them or not, and I'll try to take some responsibility for this module, if Dan is willing, and is patient.

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
