>There is documentation for Win32::Shortcut, but it is not distributed in
the standard way, i.e. as POD in the .pm file or as a separate file, so
you have to look a bit harder.
When you search for Win32::Shortcut on search.cpan.org you would have
seen that it is part of the libwin32 package. If you follow that link
(http://search.cpan.org/~jdb/libwin32-0.26/) and scroll down you will
see the some html documentation under "Other Files". Note that the
documentation seems quite old, circa 1997, which may be part of the
reason for it being "non-standard".
Thanks Brian for the response.
For the benefit of all, Win32::Shortcut seems to work still, at least on
W2K. Maybe the work has stopped, cause I'm facing the following issues:
1. The required folders are not automatically created when Save() is
used. This is minor and can be solved by called File::Path::mkpath() first.
2. Creating a shortcut to an executable does not seem to work. The
shortcut is created, but clicking on the link does not call the
application. I manually set an icon to it, and that seems to help. But
there should be an easier way to do this. But if the shortcut is to a
URL. that's ok.
