Re: Getting filehandle access modes on Windows
in thread Getting filehandle access modes on Windows
I wrote Win32::Fmode to address that very problem.
(and syphilis wrapped it over in what he considers a more user-friendly API in FileHandle::Fmode)
Thanks! I missed that. All I found was
Win32API::File, which exposes file attributes, but not the filehandle ones.
PPM makes it simple. Far simpler than installing pure perl modules on *nix in fact.
Good to know. I won't shy away from using XS then.
Thanks again.
