Thanks Paul!
Much appreciated. I'm sure this will be of help to others, particularly
because to WinXP Perl neophytes like myself, you only get to find out
mysqlhotcopy.pl won't work because of the getpwuid function after you
go through solving how to get DBI.pm installed (which turned out to be
relatively easy by PPM, of course, but finding THAT out wasn't
2nd-nature to a newbie like myself), because that's what falls over
first, since it doesn't seem to be distributed with the ActiveState Perl
5.8 package. So, laugh, you fix that only to find you can't fix the next
problem...
Thanks again!
Much warmth,
Murray

Hi All,
Apologies if this has been done to death previously, but would it be
sensible to indicate in the MySQL documentation that the Perl
mysqlhotcopy script only appears to work on the Linux platform? (Or,
more accurately, doesn't work on the WinXP platform, I have no idea
about other platforms)
Done.
At least, so it appears when attempting to get it to work on WinXP
using ActiveState Perl 5.8. It appears the getpwuid function is
unsupported in the Win32 implementation.
Alternatively, if there's a known work-around, I'd love to hear about
it, and maybe that should go into the documentation instead?
Much warmth,
Murray
