$ENV{REMOTE_USER}
This will require defining your web server (Apache, IIS, whatever) to
require authentication when connecting to a particular page in order to get
a valid name. I'm not sure you can get a valid username without
implementing the server's security functions, whatever form they are
implemented (.htaccess, mod_auth_mysql, etc...)
The documentation for your web server and some reading on CGI should give
you all you need to understand this small piece of the puzzle.
Hope this leads in the right direction.
