how to add the user to one unix group using perl

Ritusriv

Hi

I just wanted to know is there any way in the perl to add a unix user to unix group.
e.g.
I linux we have command to do so,

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

usermod -a -G <group> <user>

I have found a CPAN perl module Linux:usermod to do so,Is there any other way except this module ?

Alternatively, you can make use of system() command or backticks in Perl, to execute the same linux command.

There is no straight forward method of doing it in Perl, as far as I know. You have to make use of certain modules. Other than the one you mentioned, you can have a look at Unix::GroupFile module.
