Umm, no, getpwuid is a Perl built-in.  Has been for as long as I've been
using Perl (since 4.0.36, I'm not *really* an old-timer).  I don't know
anything about Windows, but I rather doubt that it has a C API for
reading /etc/passwd, which is what getpwuid really is.

IOW, it sounds as if SA is Unix-specific, until proven otherwise.  Why
on earth would you trust Windows to process your email, anyways?  >duck<
