I have no idea how that behaves on Windows (Net::Server doesn't run there I think). I'm quite familiar with the issues we had with setting UID: since Perl can't assign to both of $< and $> in one atomic operation, one or the other order of assignment failed on some platform, the only universal solution was POSIX::setuid, which does both in one go. About setting groups I don't think these were as troublesome as setting uid. I think POSIX::setgid is used now mostly because POSIX::setuid needs to be used anyhow. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
