And just for the record, this is how I access it from Perl: my $USER = `echo \$USER`; chomp($USER); No need to spawn a subshell to just get an environment variable. In simpler Perl, that would just be: my $USER = $ENV{USER} As, for example: $ perl -le 'print $ENV{USER}' knud.moeller $ or whatever. :-) -- Chris Devers _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
