Re^2: windows app-data path

momo33, Im not sure if this will help you but I use my perl scripts in XP and win7, and here are the things I use to find the correct paths.. good luck :)

$user = getlogin(); # get username
if(-e(-d("C:/users"))){$users = "users";} #check if exists
  elsif(-e(-d("C:/Documents and Settings"))){
$users = "Documents and Settings";
}
$OS = $^O;

This approach will fail for example on non-English Windows XP. For example German Windows XP has `Dokumente und Einstellungen` as the directory name.	[reply] [d/l]
