    Real UID: $<
    Effective UID: $>
    Real GID: $(
    Effective GID: $)

      In addition, you can find the associated name using getgrgid()/getpwuid(). Also look at the related functions under the same perlfunc section.

    Search perldoc perlvar for UID/GID.

    It's not easy to juggle a pregnant wife and a troubled child, but somehow I managed to fit in eight hours of TV a day.
