perl variable assingment

I want to assign the current user to a variable in my perl script.

My first attempt using Solaris 8 (perl 5) is:

$VAR = system(logname);

However, this assigns 0 to $VAR, and outputs the user to the screen. Does anyone know the command that I need?

Thanks,
seismic_willy
