Retrieving Windows LoginID 1

[llaber]

I need to know if there is a way to get the Windows Login ID, in a perl program? I will just be storing their ID in the log, so we know who is running the program.

 

[whn]

It is in %ENV.

 

[llaber]

Could you please give me more detail. I am new to Windows and Perl. I'm used to Unix.

 $username= $ENV{USERNAME};
 chomp $username;

Can this work for a script ran from a Linux box via a web interface on a windows machine.

Just want to make sure the it's clear to OP and future readers when / where this will work.
