is there another way to do this?

[Mark Johnson]

Is there another way to get access to the environment variables... this
works, but it seems kind of kludgy..

my $machine = `echo \$HOSTNAME`;

Also, is there a way to detemine whether the script is being executed by
root?

I tired doing:

my $is_root = `echo \$UID`

but for some reason this doesn't work, but it works in a bash script...it
appears that $UID isn't available or something...

thanks!
