- This module's default exports override the core _g_e_t_p_w_e_n_t(),
- _g_e_t_p_w_u_i_d(), and _g_e_t_p_w_n_a_m() functions, replacing them with
- versions that return "User::pwent" objects. This object has
- methods that return the similarly named structure field name
- from the C's passwd structure from _p_w_d._h; namely name,
- passwd, uid, gid, quota, comment, gecos, dir, and shell.
-
- You may also import all the structure fields directly into
- your namespace as regular variables using the :FIELDS import
- tag. (Note that this still overrides your core functions.)
- Access these fields as variables named with a preceding pw_
- in front their method names. Thus, $passwd_obj->shell()
- corresponds to $pw_shell if you import the fields.
-
- The _g_e_t_p_w() funtion is a simple front-end that forwards a
- numeric argument to _g_e_t_p_w_u_i_d() and the rest to _g_e_t_p_w_n_a_m().
-
- To access this functionality without the core overrides,
- pass the use an empty import list, and then access function
- functions with their full qualified names. On the other
- hand, the built-ins are still available via the CORE::
- pseudo-package.

- While this class is currently implemented using the
- Class::Struct module to build a struct-like class, you
- shouldn't rely upon this.
