Creating Users

Tony,

I get the following error when attempting to use SaveUser:

        Arg[ 1 ] unknown type 3
Invalid argument to P4::Run. Aborting command at
C:/Perl/site/lib/P4.pm line 51.
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at
C:/Perl/site/lib/P4.pm line 53.

Code snippet:

# Save new user
    $p4->SaveUser( "-f", $user );
#    $p4->SetInput( $user );
#    $p4->Run("user", "-fi");

Thanks.....Scott...

If you're attempting to modify another user's details, you
will need to invoke 
the power of the '-f' flag. This should do the trick:

	$p4->SaveUser( "-f", $user );

Note also that when things don't 'seem to work', it's
worth printing the 
output returned from the command and the contents of the
$p4->Errors() and 
$p4->Warnings() arrays. They'll yield valuable clues.

You can also use $p4->DebugLevel( 3 ) (in the latest
builds of P4Perl) to see 
way more information than you really want.

My apologies Scott. This is caused by passing the reference
(type 3) last. The 
arguments should be the other way round:

	$p4->SaveUser( $user, "-f" );

When using the Save* shortcuts, always pass the hash
reference as the first 
argument, followed by any flags/additional arguments.

Tony
