Yes the module is really Win32 specific because it uses the functions for the "Structured Storage", and I do not belive these functions are available on Linux/Unix systems or cygwin.On Apr 5, 2005, at 2:44 AM, Reinhard Pagitsch wrote:

Question: Is this really Win32 specific? Are you using Windows-only functionality, or would this module work fine on non-Windows computers (like the Excel and OLE modules do)?
As I made tests also with OpenOffice documents and saw that there the informations stored in a different way so I have to check the OOo SDK to get the informations I need.
I think "Document" may be better than "File" in this case. My first impression was that "Win32::File::Prop" is would interact with Windows filesystem properties, like permissions, hidden flags, ownership, etc.
Or maybe Win32::Storage::PropertySet?
