    flyingmoose .. you need to establish the value by setting

    use constant CSIDL_SYSTEM => 0x25; # Decimal 37

    before you can GetFolderPath.
    In any case, that is the exact equivalent of calling 'GetSystemDirectory()' .

      Actually, no. You only need to import it: 
      use Win32 qw(CSIDL_SYSTEM);

print Win32::GetFolderPath(CSIDL_SYSTEM);
