Running Weblogs with Slash

Name

getCurrentUser — retrieves information about the current user by key or as a hash reference

Synopsis

my $user = getCurrentUser();
my $value = getCurrentUser($name);

With no parameters, getCurrentUser returns a hash reference of the current user’s information. If the optional $name parameter is provided, it returns the associated value within the user information, if present, and the undefined value if not. This is exported from Slash::Utility. If the program is not running under mod_perl, and if createEnvironment has not been called, the hash reference may be empty.

Example

use Slash::Utility;
my $user = getCurrentUser();

my $nickname = getCurrentUser('nickname');
