1. windows

1.1. why is uid (owner) empty?
I use the standard perl module Win32::Filesecurity, which gives access to ntfs acl, but not the owner.
I find another perl module for that : Win32::Perms, but it is not commonly installed

1.2. Why is afick so slow ?
I had some a test on 2 operating systems (linux and windows XP) on the same host, on the same number of files, and it is much slowier on windows ( x5 ).
I do not know if it comes from perl interpreter or from windows it-self.

1.3. Error handling error: 123, GetFileSecurity ...
The problem come from files without acl !. it is fixed in 2.1 release.


2. installation

2.1. can I install afick on my computer ?
afick just use perl, so can work on any unix* computer, and even on windows. it does not need any compilation.
