 * Hello,
    I wondered if anyone knows how to retrieve session variables. After I
   did couple hours search on google and wordpress, I only learn how to enable session
   in the wp-config.php file. However, I was not able to find any information about
   retrieving session variables. I want to get user login name from user session
   and then pass it to a perl script file.
 * Thank you so much!

   information.
