If you've got ActiveState's version, scan through your documentation for the Win32 module, looking for LoginName. According to the docs, Win32::LoginName() [CORE] Returns the username of the owner of the current perl process. emc At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation. —Igor Sikorsky, reported in AOPA Pilot magazine February 2003.	[reply]

`$ENV{USERNAME}` will likely hold the name of the user currently logged on on Win32.	[reply] [d/l]

In Windows XP where there are multiple user accounts defined, is there a Perl function to determine the user/account name of the current user. Not exactly a function but `$ENV{USERNAME}` should be pretty portable: `C:\temp>perl -le "print $ENV{USERNAME}" Blazar` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
