[Craig A D. <cad...@st...>]

Hi Beau,

I've put together a Win32 Windows Service call RyncManager which =
automates
file synchronization between Win32 system and a Rsync Server.  Check out =
the
attached htm file, it might be inline with what your trying to =
accomplish.

Subject: [Perlrsync-users] File::RsyncP

Hi Craig,

I have a customer running Windows who wants to access
rsync servers; for various reasons ( political, not real )
he refuses to run the rsync client under cygwin.
( For that matter it took me almost one year to convince
him that running perl on his network would not bring the
sky crashing down upon him - you have to admire the skill
of the Microsoft marketing team to be able to convince
so many people that software not developed or blessed by
them is evil ). So I looked around and found your
File::RsyncP module, and gave it a try. I does not compile under =
Windows.
OK, I said, and proceeded to tweak the source for Win32 and had mixed
results. I can't seem to get the memory allocation right ( I get a =
Windows
error on free ).

It looks like the 'easiest' ( well, it should be at least easier ;) ) =
way to
get him running is to make a pure-perl implementation of the module. My
coding is abount half done. I have converted the Digest module and it =
tests
OK against the xs version running on my Linux. Coding is well under way =
on
the FileList module.

Now I know this implementation is going to be slow and a
memory hog, but it will have the advantage of being portable
- at least to Windows. With your blessing I plan to release a =
development
version of the pure-perl module to CPAN in the next week or so. I am
thinking of naming it 'File::RsyncPP'. Does that name fit or do you have =
any
other suggestions?
