freebsd stable - Dec 2006 - p5-Quota issues

Hello,

I'm trying to get a script working with the p5-Quota module, but no  
way... :
- quota correctely working for the /home partition
- tested with edquota/repquota, etc.

But when trying to retrieve information or setup quota information from
a perl script, I get:   Quota::sync: error #45

But what bothers me more is that exactely the same script (with the
same module) is working fine under linux...

Any hint would be welcome :-)
regards,
Olivier

PS: installed module:
p5-Quota-1.5.1      Perl module that provides access to filesystem  
quotas
Later I'll try to get the module directely from cpan, maybe it will  
help...

I guess that's an errno number, and in that case 45 is
EOPNOTSUPP (Operation not supported).  It is a bug that
the errno number is not printed as a human-readable
string.

Did you try to use Quota::query?  Does it work?

According to the p5-Quota documentation, the Quota::sync
function is not supported on all platforms, so it's
perfectly possible that the p5-Quota code supports it
on Linux, but not on FreeBSD.
