<RANT>...which is why it really pisses me off that these modules are not on CPAN. People can't find them. You don't have the dozens of servers so if one server goes down, you're stuck. Great resources like http://search.cpan.org don't index them. And on and on...</RANT>

So I try to avoid them. I think there are several modules that can get your the full name for a user. Win32API::Net is on CPAN so I used search.cpan.org to look up the docs and it should work for you.
