Welcome! Please know that when you post to the forum, we really like to see the code that you have tried thus far. That way, we can better help you troubleshoot it and get it working.

To understand your question, we would have to know a couple of things. For instance, what OS are you on? If this is Unix, are you looking to read this from something like the passwd file? We really need more information on what you are trying to do.

Regards,

Jeff

I don't know if you will be able to retrieve the login password on unix(but I could be wrong). Usually, it is kept in a shadow file and is encoded. You would be better off to maybe build in a log in function into your program/application, so as not to rely on the system password.

Unfortunately I have no idea what code you are looking at or what it is doing. Can you provide more information, like say the code?

You're ultimate purpose is still obscure to me. However, here is the module that I currently favor for io prompting:

cpan IO::Prompt
