in reply to WIN32::Eventlog - Getting the user info from Security Log

Well, GetMessageText(HASHREF); converts the hashref to a string for you. If that is not what you want, it turns out that the user information is a SID. Use Win32::LookupAccountSID to translate a SID into an account name.

    Sweet Traveler. Very Sweet. Thanks for your insight :)
    BTW. Where did you find out it was a sid?
      I checked the module source and saw that it is called $sid there. Glad to be of help.
