README for VMS::User Copyright (c) 1999 Dan Sugalski comaintained by Craig Berry cocomaintained since 2007 by Peter Prymmer You may distribute under the terms of the Artistic License, as distributed with Perl. This module lets you retrieve most of the info available via the system service GETUAI. It will also get a list of users in your SYSUAF if you have read access to it and execute access to AUTHORIZE. To build and test with perl use: perl Makefile.pl mms mms test If it tests OK, then mms install to install it (mmk may be used in place of mms in the above commands). More info is in the POD documentation in the User.pm file. VMS::User allows Perl programs to retrieve a list of users and get information about their accounts. The information it returns is pretty much equivalent to what AUTHORIZE provides. This module can't violate VMS system security in any way that DCL can't, so if you can see something with SYS$GETUAI, you can see it with VMS::User. If you can't see the item with AUTHORIZE, you can't here, either.
