Hi,

I have experienced the following error with Catalyst-View-Manson 0.18
(HTML-Mason 1.45) on Win32 Strawberry Perl 5.12.0

Failed test 'array root as comp_root doesn't get stringified'

at t/comp_root_ref.t line 40.

died: The getpwuid function is unimplemented at

D:/strawberry32/perl/site/lib/HTML/Mason/Interp.pm line 303.

Looks like you failed 1 test of 5.

t/comp_root_ref.t .....
Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
Failed 1/5 subtests

and it leeds me to HTML::Mason

Would it be possible to change "sub _make_data_subdir" in
lib/HTML/Mason/Interp.pm to skip getpwuid() + getgrgid() when on MS Windows
platform? If I understand the code the values (user + group) are used just in
error message.

Thanks

Patches with a test would be welcome, but I find it hard to believe that
this bug has existed for so long and no one else has had a problem with it.

Weird.
