Have you looked on cpan for a module that does that? You can always qx() the same way you'd do it via command line. IE if you can do $ /usr/bin/sername 0 root $ Then you can do perhaps: my $userfromid = qx(/usr/bin/username $<); HTH DMuey > > Thanks > Eric Walker > > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
