I believe: 
use Win32;
$login = Win32::LoginName;

will do what you want. For more detailed information, you can also use this snippet from Learning Perl on Win32 Systems (co-authored by our own merlyn): 
use Win32::NetAdmin;
$user = Win32::LoginName; # grab the name of the current user
Win32::NetAdmin::UserGetAttributes("",
    $username, $password, $passwordage,
    $privilege, $homedir, $comment,
    $flags, $scriptpath);
print "The homedir for $username is $homedir\n";

HTH,

Update: Glad it works for you, although cut/paste may have caused you to drop a semicolon after your "my $profile" statement, but otherwise works for me!
