CGI's remote_user() rturns $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'}; While sub user_name { my ($self) = self_or_CGI(@_); return $self->http('from') || $ENV{'REMOTE_IDENT'} || $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'}; }
SO if I'm trying to get the login name I should use user_name since it will return REMOTE_USER or REMOTE_IDENT My question is: What is $self->http('from') ? Is it possible/likely that $self->http('from') or REMOTE_IDENT will have a value that is not their authentication username while REMOTER_USER might be but it will never get to REMOTE_USER since one of the others are defined? I ask because In Perl in aNutshell it's says user_name() is unreliable but doesn't say that about remote_user.
