Well you found one here , I've worked with it since the first version , in
fact I work with it daily , it's how I earn my daily bread. You can not
separate it's shortcommings from the question posed about UID . I see you
offered no advice to the poster other than to rake me over the coals for
daring to sugest that the problem lies with the selected OS not the Perl
scripts.
I was not trying to force my opion on any one , and I was trying to help
out the guy , Though I only been posting here for a few times I got the
impression that this form was not owned and operated for the bennifit of the
Windows community or the Linux/Unix community . I would just as easly
pointed out a fault in Unix/linux if there existed one relevent to the
question at hand.
My stance on O/S's is use which ever one does the job your trying to
accomplish. Same with Scripting langauages or hardware. Just what is your
problem bud ? Instead of attacking me why don't you sugest how this problem
might be resolved ? do you realy know any thing other than how to start a
flame war ?
