Hi Ifran,

It would help if you indicate the platform you are working on :-) Now I
assume you are working on windows and in that case I would guess (never
needed this myself so I can't say for sure) that
*Win32API::File
 *should do the trick. After all is offers a direct interface to the
windows file API and therefore should be able to provide you what you are
looking for.

Regards,

Rob

Hi Ifran,
