title: How to create symlink using Perl?
body: <p>Am trying to run the below code in Perl:</p>
  
  <pre><code>symlink($oldname,$newname) or die print "$!\n";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I get an error saying:</p>
  
  <pre><code>The symlink function is unimplemented at C:\...\CreateSymlink.pl line 14.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I change the code to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>link($oldname,$newname) or die print "$!\n";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>then the hard links are being created without errors.</p>
  
  <p>Using activestate Perl and Windows 7 32-bit.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas why this is happening? I am trying to create symbolic links for a file.</p>
  
  <p>P.S: I am a total newbie to Perl.</p>
