22.5. Win32::File

The Win32::File module allows you to view or set the attributes for files. There are two functions that allow you to do this, which must be explicitly imported to your namespace: 

use Win32::File qw/GetAttributes SetAttributes/;

The constant values for the attributes are exported by default.

GetAttributes
GetAttributes (filename, \$atts)

Returns the attribute settings for file filename and saves them as the variable referenced by $atts, which will contain an ORed combination of one or more of the following values: 

ARCHIVE 
DIRECTORY 
HIDDEN 
NORMAL 
READONLY 
SYSTEM
SetAttributes
SetAttributes (filename, atts)

Sets the attributes for the file filename to the values contained in atts. The attributes are given as an ORed combination of one or more of the attribute values shown above.
