SYNOPSIS
use File::HomeDir::Win32;
print "My dir is ",home()," and root's is ",home('Administrator'),"\n";
DESCRIPTION
This module provides routines for finding home directories on Win32
systems. It was designed as a companion to File::HomeDir that overrides
the existing `home' function, which does not properly locate home
directories on Windows machines.
See the module documentation for more details.
