If you need more than the numeric user ID, have a look at:
perldoc getpwnam
perldoc User::pwent
D'oh! getpwnam() is a function (not a module), so that should be:
perldoc -f getpwnam
perldoc User::pwent

The other perl was installed by darwinports. It doesn't ask
questions. If it did, I wouldn't install it. I'm not concerned
about incompatibilities as the perl versions are so close. I could
