[p4perl] Creating Users

[Scott Lavender]

Tony,

I get the following error when attempting to use SaveUser:

        Arg[ 1 ] unknown type 3
Invalid argument to P4::Run. Aborting command at C:/Perl/site/lib/P4.pm line 51.
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at C:/Perl/site/lib/P4.pm line 53.

Code snippet:

# Save new user
    $p4->SaveUser( "-f", $user );
#    $p4->SetInput( $user );
#    $p4->Run("user", "-fi");

Thanks.....Scott...

If you're attempting to modify another user's details, you will need to invoke 
the power of the '-f' flag. This should do the trick:

	$p4->SaveUser( "-f", $user );

Note also that when things don't 'seem to work', it's worth printing the 
output returned from the command and the contents of the $p4->Errors() and 
$p4->Warnings() arrays. They'll yield valuable clues.

You can also use $p4->DebugLevel( 3 ) (in the latest builds of P4Perl) to see 
way more information than you really want.
