Favor $*EXECUTABLE because it is not guaranteed that the perl
executable is in PATH.

that evaluates to "username (uid)". It will evaluate
to the username only if treated as a string and the
numeric user id if treated as a number.

It is an object that evaluates to "groupname (gid)".
It will evaluate to the groupname only if treated as a
string and the numeric group id if treated as a number.

$*HOME An L<IO::Path> object representing the "home directory"
of the user that is running the program. If the
"home directory" cannot be determined it will be L<Nil>
