note roboticus <p>[softworkz]:</p> <p>On a *nix system, you can use stat to get the UID (user ID) of the file, and cross reference it with /etc/passwd to match it to the user.</p> <p>For a windows system, I found this link: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/218965]. It contains some sample VB code that you should be able to translate to perl. Though you'll have to define the DLL references & such.</p> <p><b>Update:</b> I also found a bit of perl at [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4677180/how-to-get-file-owner-name].</p> <p>...[roboticus]</p> <p><i>When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.</i></p> 995770 995770
