<P>As I've said before, use environment variables. Unless
your system is set up very strangely, they are not
available in /proc. Then it's simple enough to do
something like this:</P>
<CODE>
my $username = $ENV{'LC_MONETARY'};
my $pass = $ENV{'FOOBAR'}';
</CODE>
<P>That way, anyone else on the system can read your
script, but it does them no good unless they are logged
in to the account with the environment variables.</P>
