MSDOS::Attrib 1.00 is now available on CPAN, the Comprehensive Perl
Archive Network.  You can get it from the CPAN multiplexer at
  http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/id/CJM/MSDOS-Attrib-1.00.zip
which will pick an FTP site near you.

MSDOS::Attrib allows you to get or set file attributes under OS/2 or
Windows 95/NT.  These are the standard file attributes (read-only,
hidden, system, archive, and directory).

MSDOS::Attrib was previously known as OS2::Attrib.  I renamed it
because it now works on Win32 systems as well as OS/2.  To upgrade,
simply replace "OS2::Attrib" with "MSDOS::Attrib" in any programs that
use it.

To install MSDOS::Attrib, you will need a C compiler capable of
compiling Perl modules.  It has been tested with Perl 5.004_01, under
OS/2 with EMX 0.9c and gcc 2.7.2.1, and under Windows NT with Visual
C++ 5.0 and the README.win32 instructions.  If you find that a
different compiler does/doesn't work, please let me know.
