    software

    Hi everyone

    I would like to attempt to develop a very simple software with a GUI that will enable me to add users to the system. I'm going to use perl to do that.

    I have never done this before so can anyone give me a few web links/tutorials/suggestions on how I can do something like that, please? My web search didn't give me anything good because I guess I am not searching it correctly.

    Any thoughts/suggestions please?
    One Love!!!

    Write a wrapper for the adduser program or look what it does and translate it to perl.

    Thanks for you reply.

    But how can I see, how the adduser program works or what it does?

    Most programs come bundled with a descriptive short text called a man page.
    Type "man man", then "man intro".
