MSDOS::Attrib Version 1.02 Copyright 1996,1997,2007 Christopher J. Madsen DESCRIPTION MSDOS::Attrib allows you to get or set file attributes under OS/2 or Windows 95/NT. These are the standard file attributes (read-only, hidden, system, archive, and directory). If you want to access OS/2 extended attributes, use the OS2::ExtAttr module. If you want to access Windows NT security attributes, try the Win32::FileSecurity module. MSDOS::Attrib was previously known as OS2::Attrib. I renamed it because it now works on Win32 systems as well as OS/2. To upgrade, simply replace "OS2::Attrib" with "MSDOS::Attrib" in any programs that use it. INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Build.PL perl Build perl Build test perl Build install You must be able to compile extensions. I have tested MSDOS::Attrib with Perl 5.8.8 under Windows 2000 with Visual C++ 6 and the README.win32 instructions. Previous versions have been tested with Perl 5.004_01, under OS/2 with EMX 0.9c and gcc 2.7.2.1, and under Windows NT with Visual C++ 5.0 and the README.win32 instructions. If you find that a different compiler does/doesn't work, please let me know. LICENSE This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
