Does anyone know the perl API (presumably on CPAN) for
useradd/userdel/usermod to automate the manipulation of users on FreeBSD
systems? On Linux systems?
thanks,
Siegfried

You might look at the webmin program to see how it does it.

You might look at these modules on CPAN:

Provision::Unix::User::FreeBSD
Provision::Unix::User::Linux

"adduser" is actually a Perl program that uses "useradd" under the hood,
at least on Linux (FreeBSD removed Perl from its core so it may be an
executable there now).

If none of the wrapper modules available from CPAN suits your need you
can use its as a sample and even copy&paste code from there into your
script.

If seen quite a few automated user management tools written in Perl and they
all seem to just wrap useradd, so I'm guessing that's the "standard" way to
achieve it.
