I think you are right. I have been running the script via Komodo IDE so I can debug it. I did not configure it as a separate user, but when I run 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $foo = `echo %SSDIR%`;
print $foo;

from it, it shows that the ENV variable is not set, whereas it is from the command line.

But there is only one user on this (Windows 10) machine. Any idea how to track down what user Komodo is running under?
