File-HomeDir-Win32

NAME

File::HomeDir::Win32 - Find home directories on Win32 systems

REQUIREMENTS

This package requires Perl 5.6.0 and following modules (most of which are not included with Perl):

      Win32::Security::SID
      Win32::TieRegistry

INSTALLATION

Installation can be done using the traditional Makefile.PL or the newer Build.PL methods.

Using Makefile.PL:

      perl Makefile.PL
      make test
      make install

(On Windows platforms you should use `nmake' instead.)

Using Build.PL on systems with Module::Build installed:

      perl Build.PL
      perl Build test
      perl Build install

SYNOPSIS

use File::HomeDir::Win32;

print "My dir is ",home()," and root's is ",home('Administrator'),"\n";

DESCRIPTION

This module provides routines for finding home directories on Win32 systems. It was designed as a companion to File::HomeDir that overrides the existing `home' function, which does not properly locate home directories on Windows machines.

See the module documentation for more details.
