 hi,

 i need to access the attributes of file.
 more precisely, i need to check if the file is digitally signed or not


 for example; if i right click on file, then i need to check if the
 digital signature tab is there or not for that specific file and valid
 certificate is there.

 please suggest if any perl module is available to get this info

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::Filehttp://search.cpan.org/~chorny/Win32API-File-0.1200/File.pm
 *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
